Do I need to declare period delay tablets (Utovlan) at Australian customs?

You should declare ALL medicine, whether prescribed or not. I not only tick yes to the question, I also circle the word medicine. In my experience when you get to the officer they look at the form and say "what medicine do you have?" They know which medications are allowed in and which are not. I had prescribed medication with me and brought the prescription label. However nobody asked to look at them, my description of what I had and why was enough for the officer in my case.
For any meds you want to bring there are 3 possibilities:
- it's allowed in no matter what
- it is not allowed in no matter what
- it will be allowed if you declare it and have the right paperwork, but it will be confiscated or you will not be allowed in if you don't declare it
If you were completely sure that it would not be allowed in, and if having it was so important to you that you'd be willing to risk being treated as a smuggler, then I suppose you could try not declaring it and hoping you aren't searched. But I think the smarter approach is to declare everything. If for some reason it's not allowed they will take it from you, but you won't be in trouble because you declared it.
I am not familiar with the medication you mention, but expect it's not regulated the way, say, strong painkiller might be. There is some information available from the Australian government online:
You do not need to declare medications such as aspirin, paracetamol or Australian over the counter medications. - http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Ente/Goin/Arrival
The travellers exemption allows you to bring certain prescribed medicines and medical devices into the country without needing special permission. [...] contraception medications (birth control) - https://www.tga.gov.au/travelling-medicines-and-medical-devices
This seems to support that declaring it and then telling the officer when they ask at the desk should work fine for you.
