What is a vasectomy and how can it help me?
The vasectomy procedure is a form of permanent contraception method via a quick surgical procedure that closes your sperm-carrying tubes, meaning that the semen can no longer be carried with the sperm.
Performed in 30 minutes under a local anaesthetic, this non-scalpel technique is gentle, with a quick recovery time. You can have your consultation and the procedure within 48 hours, or use the online bookings platform to pick the clinic location best suited for you around Australia.

It is our recommendation that you have someone drive you home by private vehicle or cab / Uber. Public transport is also acceptable.
If this is not possible it’s important you wait at least 20 minutes after leaving the procedure room, and feel 100% fine, before you commence driving. If you feel lightheaded while driving, pull over immediately.
Yes, our Preparing for your Vasectomy page provides all of the relevant information in regards to this.
If this is a valid question for you, you should reconsider a vasectomy. The procedure can be reversed but it is expensive with results that are not guaranteed or covered by Medicare. It would be best if you considered this a permanent procedure.
Dr Cashion’s skill-level reduces the risk of complications but all surgical procedures present an element of risk. These will be outlined in your consent form, the primary two being;
- Bruising in the days after your vasectomy that will usually disappear after about a week
- Mild pain or swelling which will also calm a few days after your procedure
If your job requires heavy lifting, some time off work may be required, for which we can provide a medical certificate.
The chance of infection is significantly reduced by the fact that our team strictly adheres to the infection control protocol.
No, it is vital to understand that the vasectomy procedure does not work immediately and you are only fertile once we have confirmed the procedure was a success after our analysis at the three-month mark.
As long as you are not lifting anything too heavy for the first week you can return to your job straight away. If you do work in a role that requires an amount of heavy lifting we can provide a medical certificate to allow you to take some recovery time off.
You should be able to resume sexual activity after about one week, but you must continue to use contraception during this time until we have determined you are truly sterile.
No, a referral will not be required, you can book your procedure and organise the entire process directly through us.
Every man experiences a different healing ability, some recover quite quickly however longer periods for those with slower healing can be around two weeks. On average, however, most men are recovered after about seven days.
We only offer vasectomy under local anaesthetic, those who would prefer that it be performed under sedation or general anaesthetic will require a referral from a urologist.
You may have heard this term used while looking into the vasectomy procedure but in actual fact, the laser vasectomy does not exist. Our process involves a hyfrecator to cut the vas which is what people often refer to as a laser vasectomy.
Once you have had your vasectomy and paid for it, we will process your Medicare rebate on your behalf. You will usually receive your payment into the bank account you have nominated with Medicare within 48 hours. If you have not received the payment 1 week after your vasectomy please email info@vasectomyaustralia.com.au and we will chase it up.

To answer this question there is some good news and bad news.
The bad news: you won’t be able to use your private health insurance when you have a vasectomy with us.
That’s because we do our vasectomies in medical centres rather than in a private hospital. Private health insurance is only of benefit when you have your procedure performed in a hospital or day surgery by a urologist.
So what’s the good news?
The good news is that it will almost certainly work out more affordable to have your procedure with Vasectomy Australia.
This is because of a few reasons:
- Private Health usually requires you pay an excess. This excess might be $500 or even up to $1000. A vasectomy with us is only $573 out of pocket.
- Your urologist will almost certainly have a gap on their fee. This will vary but again could range from a few hundred dollars to over $1000.
- Nearly all surgeons will want you to be asleep when you have your vasectomy. This means an anaesthetic fee and – you guessed it – a gap fee.
Once you add up these 3 fees you may end up being $2000 or more out of pocket. With insurance!
When you choose Vasectomy Australia you know exactly what your fee will be – $573 out of pocket. No if, ands or maybes. No “it depends on your health fund”. No “you will have to check with the anaesthetist”.
Just one fee so you can know exactly what you will pay and can plan for this. Privately insured or not, you will be getting your procedure with one of Australia’s top vasectomists at an affordable price.
