More than half of Australian women who get pregnant unexpectedly are either on the Pill or using condoms at the time.

A report into unplanned pregnancy by sexual health organisation Marie Stopes International shows that 43 per cent of women were on the oral contraceptive pill when it occurred. A further 22 per cent were using a condom and 21 per cent of the women using contraception were on more than one method.

The World Health Organisation states that even if couples use contraception correctly 100 per cent of the time, there would be six million unplanned pregnancies each year.

I've said it before and I will say it again: The only method of contraception that prevents unplanned pregnancy is abstinence. (no not attending an abstinence program, but actually practising abstinence)
