How much does IVF cost in Australia?

Across the 4 Australian operators that publish a comparable figure, an IVF cycle runs A$4,735 to A$7,599 out of pocket after the Medicare rebate. Most Australian providers publish no fee schedule, so this is not a national average. Medicines, anaesthetist fees, day-surgery fees and storage are charged separately and can materially change the bill.

Can IVF be bulk-billed in Australia?

Yes, some clinics offer bulk-billing or lower-cost IVF routes, but availability and inclusions vary. Check the current provider fee schedule and confirm whether medicines, anaesthetist fees, storage and add-ons are excluded.

Does Medicare cover IVF in Australia?

Medicare covers part of eligible IVF treatment through MBS rebates, and the Medicare Safety Net can reduce later-cycle costs once the annual threshold is reached. PBS subsidies can also reduce stimulation medicine costs.

4 Australian operators publish a comparable out-of-pocket IVF cycle price, running A$4,735 to A$7,599 after the Medicare rebate.

Important context

IVF success rates vary by age, diagnosis, treatment type, use of donor eggs, embryo transfer approach and patient selection. TreatCompare summarises published clinic-level data for comparison and research purposes only. It is not medical advice and should not be used as the sole basis for choosing a clinic. Patients should verify current figures, treatment suitability and pricing directly with the clinic.

No success rates are reported for women over 42, due to the small number of cycles in that age group. It is very important that you do not choose a clinic based only on success rates. It is difficult to compare clinic success rates fairly, as these vary greatly depending on the types of patients a clinic treats and a clinic’s individual treatment strategy.
