Further Information

About IUD (Mirena or Copper) Insertion

Dr Alba Spina and Dr Angela Wang are trained in intrauterine device (IUD) insertion and are available to consult with you whether an IUD is a suitable option for you. In most cases, IUD insertion can be done at Holland Park Family Medical Practice, with only a small number of patients requiring referral to Gynaecological Services for placement.

If you would like to discuss whether an IUD is appropriate for you, please book an appointment with Dr Spina or Dr Wang. If you require a Pap Test or additional medical care at the same visit, please book a longer appointment to ensure there is enough time to address everything thoroughly.

If you have already discussed an IUD with Dr Spina or Dr Wang and are booking an appointment for insertion, please contact reception directly and advise that it is for an IUD insertion. This allows us to ensure the nurse’s room is reserved and a nurse is available for your procedure.

Please remember to bring your IUD to the appointment and arrange care for your children during the appointment. It is advised you do not drive for 30 minutes after the procedure.

Payment is required on the day of the procedure, please see below for schedule of fees.

The doctors we support will only conduct home visits in limited circumstances, restricted to their patients who are:

  • regular patients of the doctor;
  • unable to come to the practice for medical reasons
  • live within a 10 minute radius of the practice

Please phone the practice as early in the day as possible to arrange a visit so that we can discuss this with your doctor and make the appropriate arrangements. Out of pocket costs may be charged by your doctor for home visit appointments.

If you have any concerns about your skin, your doctor can perform a skin check. If a concerning lesion is found, you may need to make a separate appointment for skin cancer surgery, which may involve an out-of-pocket cost. Your doctor can discuss this with you at the time. To book a skin check, please contact our reception team.

Advance care planning is about discussing your values and the type of health care you would want if you became seriously ill or injured and were unable to speak for yourself. If you would like to know more please click here. For Queensland forms click here.
