We analysed pricing from 29 RTAC-accredited clinics to show the full cost including storage, drugs, and what Medicare does and doesn't cover.
According to TreatCompare analysis of 29 RTAC-accredited clinics, egg freezing in Australia costs $4,000–8,000 per cycle. There is no Medicare rebate for elective egg freezing. Annual storage costs $300–600. Most patients undergo 1–2 cycles to bank enough eggs.

Quick answer
Updated May 2026IVF costs in Australia are best compared as out-of-pocket costs after Medicare rebates, plus medication, anaesthetist, storage and any add-ons. The lower-cost clinic is not always the lowest total cost over multiple cycles.
- Compare clinic cycle fee, Medicare rebate and likely gap cost.
- Add PBS medication costs and optional services such as ICSI or PGT-A.
- Check whether a public IVF or access-program route is available in your state.

Cost FAQs
How much does IVF cost in Australia?
IVF cost depends on clinic fees, Medicare rebates, medication, anaesthetist fees, storage and add-ons. Compare out-of-pocket cost after rebates, not only the advertised cycle price.
What is usually not included in an IVF headline price?
Medication, ICSI, embryo freezing, storage, anaesthetist fees and extra scans may be separate. Ask for a written estimate that lists inclusions and likely add-ons.
Are lower-cost IVF clinics always lower-cost overall?
Not always. A lower base cycle fee can still lead to a higher total if medication, add-ons or repeat cycles cost more than expected.
Does Medicare reduce IVF costs in Australia?
Medicare rebates can reduce eligible IVF service costs, and PBS subsidies can reduce many medication costs. The final gap depends on clinic billing and your Safety Net position.
According to TreatCompare analysis across 29 RTAC-accredited Australian clinics (May 2026), egg-freezing cycle prices range from approximately $4,000 to $8,000 out-of-pocket per cycle, plus $300–$600 annual storage.
According to Medicare Benefits Schedule rules, elective egg freezing receives no Medicare rebate for the procedure itself. The stimulation medications used are PBS-subsidised for eligible patients.
According to RTAC (Reproductive Technology Accreditation Committee), every Australian clinic offering egg freezing must meet defined clinical, embryology and cryopreservation standards — verify accreditation before paying.

Medicare and egg freezing
The Medicare coverage for egg freezing depends entirely on whether there is a medical indication.
Elective egg freezing (no rebate)
- • Egg collection procedure: NO rebate
- • Specialist consultations: NO rebate
- • Monitoring scans: NO rebate
- • Storage fees: NO rebate
- • Medications: PBS-subsidised (yes)
- • Anaesthetist: partial rebate (~$250)
Medical egg freezing (rebates apply)
- • Before cancer/chemo treatment
- • Before gonadotoxic therapy
- • Medicare rebates ~$2,800–3,200
- • Medications PBS-subsidised
- • Safety Net applies
- • Consultations rebated ($77)
PBS medications still apply: Even for elective egg freezing, stimulation medications are PBS-listed when prescribed by a registered fertility specialist for an eligible indication. General patients pay around $25.00 per script under PBS rules; concession patients pay around $7.70. Confirm current dispensing pricing with your pharmacy before paying.
PBS medication costs
Stimulation drugs are the biggest variable in egg freezing cost. PBS subsidy makes a huge difference.
| Clinic | With PBS | Without PBS | PBS saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number 1 Fertility | $130–$500 | $1,500–$3,000 | ~$1,935 |
| Adora Fertility | $130–$240 | $1,200–$2,400 | ~$1,615 |

| Next Generation Fertility | $140–$250 | $1,400–$2,500 | ~$1,755 |
| Fertility Plus | $140–$250 | $1,400–$2,500 | ~$1,755 |
| Fertility North | $150–$260 | $1,500–$2,600 | ~$1,845 |
| Concept Fertility | $150–$260 | $1,500–$2,600 | ~$1,845 |
| Newlife IVF | $150–$260 | $1,500–$2,600 | ~$1,845 |
| Life Fertility Clinic | $150–$260 | $1,500–$2,600 | ~$1,845 |
PBS saving = average difference between subsidised and full drug costs. Actual savings depend on prescribed protocol and number of scripts required.

How many cycles and eggs?
The goal is 15–20 frozen eggs for a reasonable chance of a future baby. Here is what to expect by age.
| Age | Eggs/cycle | Cycles needed | Est. lower-cost total | Est. total (average) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under 35 | 10–15 | 1–2 | $2,950–$6,900 | $5,734–$11,468 |
| 35–37 | 8–12 | 2 | $5,900 | $11,468 |
| 38–40 | 5–8 | 2–3 | $5,900–$10,350 | $11,468–$17,202 |
"Lower-cost" uses Number 1 Fertility ($2,000 cycle fee). "Average" uses the $5,734 average cycle fee. Both assume PBS drug pricing.
Success rates
Success rates for frozen eggs are determined by biology, not geography. These figures are consistent across Australian and international data.
| Age at freezing | Live birth rate per thaw cycle |
|---|---|
| Under 35 | 30–40% |
| 35–37 | 20–30% |
| 38–40 | 10–20% |
| Over 40 | Under 10% |
Key fact: The younger you freeze, the better your chances — but you may never use them. The average age of egg freezing in Australia is 37. Earlier freezing gives better success rates but a longer storage bill.
