Vasectomy Price and Frequently Asked Questions
Vasectomy price
If you’re comparing vasectomy prices in Perth, you’ll find the cost varies depending on the clinic, the clinician and the type of vasectomy offered. Across Australia, the average doctor’s fee is around $1,200.
At Perth Vasectomy, the vasectomy price is $950, with an eligible Medicare rebate of $222.65, reducing the out-of-pocket cost to $727.35.
Your fee includes your consultation, procedure, follow-up care and post-vasectomy semen analysis referral—so you’re supported from the first conversation through to final clearance.
What many patients appreciate is the combination of calm, private care and a doctor with a broader procedural background.
Before focusing on men’s health and vasectomy care, Dr Indi completed surgical training terms through the Royal Australian College of Surgeons, including rotations in General Surgery, Paediatric Surgery and Urology, and worked extensively as a Rural Generalist, where procedural skill and emergency readiness are essential.
This diverse experience shapes the steady, precise approach he brings to each vasectomy.
All fees are paid on the day of treatment, and Medicare rebates are processed when applicable.
Some private health funds may offer additional rebates. Policies vary, so please confirm with your insurer.

Why choose a vasectomy?
A vasectomy provides permanent contraception for men who are certain they do not want more (or any) children. It is generally less invasive and more cost-effective than female sterilisation, making it a practical long-term option for many couples.
How soon can it be done?
Consultations are usually available within a few days, with procedures scheduled within weeks. This timing supports informed decision-making without unnecessary waiting.
Is it effective straight away?
Not immediately. It typically requires around 20 ejaculations to clear remaining sperm from the tubes.
You’ll need to continue using contraception until a semen analysis confirms clearance.
Can vasectomy fail?
Failure is rare. Once semen testing confirms no sperm, vasectomy is regarded as one of the most reliable forms of permanent contraception.
Does the procedure hurt?
Most men describe a brief sting when the local anaesthetic is administered. The procedure itself is usually well tolerated. Mild soreness or swelling may occur afterwards but typically settles with rest, supportive underwear, and following the aftercare instructions provided.
Are there long-term health risks?
Current research shows no association between vasectomy and prostate cancer, cardiovascular disease, dementia, or testicular cancer.
Will a vasectomy affect sexual function?
No. Vasectomy does not affect testosterone levels, erections, libido or sexual performance.
Ejaculate volume remains essentially the same, as sperm makes up only a small portion of semen.
How long does it take?
Once the anaesthetic is effective, the procedure generally takes 15–20 minutes.
When can I return to normal activities?
- Light work: after about 48 hours
- Physically demanding work: up to one week
- Sports: avoid for 7–10 days
- Sexual activity: fter about 7 days, with continued contraception until semen testing confirms clearance
Recovery varies between individuals. Dr Indi will guide you on what’s appropriate for your situation.
How should I prepare for a vasectomy?
- Shave the scrotum and shower beforehand
- Avoid aspirin for one week prior
- Wear supportive underwear
- You may bring headphones or a device to help you relax during the procedure
Do I need someone to drive me home?
If your procedure is performed under local anaesthetic only, you may usually drive yourself, though many people prefer to organise a lift.
