A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that 47.9 per cent of Australian women between the ages of 18 and 49 now use some form of contraception. The survey also shows that 44.5 per cent of women who use contraception reported taking the Pill as their primary method of birth control in the 12 months to June 2015, compared with 49 per cent in the 12 months to June 2008. The proportion of women using condoms as their primary contraceptive method has fallen from 36.6 per cent to 34.4 per cent over the same period. Meanwhile, the use of IUDs and hormonal implants has risen to 9.9 per cent and 9.5 per cent respectively (up from 5.1 per cent and 5.7 per cent seven years ago).
