New government measures will help Australian women have access to cheaper and more diverse contraceptive options from Nov. 1.

The NuvaRing, a monthly contraceptive device, will be added to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), reducing annual costs from more than $270 to $31.60 per script, or $7.70 for concession card holders.
