The Huron Perth Public Health sexual health clinics provide emergency contraception if you have had unprotected sex in the last five days.

Emergency Contraception Pills (ECP), also known as “the morning after pill,” help to prevent pregnancy by using hormones to prevent or delay the release of an egg. Emergency contraception can be used up to five days after unprotected sexual intercourse, but is most effective if used immediately after unprotected sexual intercourse. No emergency contraceptive protects against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
