IVF success rates in Australia

IVF success rates need careful context. Age, diagnosis, previous treatment, embryo type and clinic patient mix can make headline rates misleading.

Last updated: 2026-05-11. All prices in AUD unless stated.

Quick answer

The safest way to compare IVF success rates is by age band and treatment type, while checking whether a clinic treats more complex patients. Do not use one headline rate as a guarantee.

How the bill works

Cost anatomy

Clinic fee

Specialist, lab and cycle charges quoted by the fertility clinic.

Ask for pre- and post-Medicare figures.

Medication

Stimulation, trigger and luteal support medicines.

PBS may reduce cost where eligible.

Add-ons

ICSI, PGT-A, freezing, storage or donor services.

Often outside the headline cycle fee.

Patient gap

The out-of-pocket cost after Medicare, Safety Net and any insurance benefit.

Varies by clinic, protocol and timing.

Access routes

Standard private clinic

Clinic cycle fee less Medicare rebates where eligible.

Ask for a written out-of-pocket estimate.

Lower-cost access programme

Reduced clinic fee or bulk-billing-style model where available.

Check eligibility, waiting time and inclusions.

Insured hospital component

Private hospital cover may help with admitted components.

Does not automatically cover every clinic or add-on fee.

Typical patient journey

Before

GP referral, specialist consult, tests and quote.

Ask which costs attract Medicare rebates.

During

Medication, egg collection, lab work and embryo transfer.

Confirm ICSI, PGT-A and anaesthetist costs.

After

Pregnancy test, frozen embryo storage or another cycle.

Ask about annual storage and future transfer fees.

Outcome caveats

  • Success rates are not promises.
  • Use data as one input alongside clinician advice, cost and access.
  • Ask clinics how their published results relate to your age and diagnosis.

Usually included

  • Comparison framework
  • Age and cycle caveats
  • Data-source prompts

May cost extra

Questions to ask before booking

  • Which add-ons are included and which are optional?
  • How much are medications for this protocol?

Success rates by Australian clinic

Births per embryo that is transferred, treatment year 2023, for 79 accredited Australian clinics, as published by YourIVFSuccess. The figure below each rate is the prediction range the publisher gives for that clinic and age group.

Before comparing these figures

YourIVFSuccess states: “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.

  • This measure counts births per embryo transferred. Other measures on a clinic’s profile count per treatment attempt or per egg retrieval cycle, and give different numbers for the same clinic.
  • No success rates are reported for women over 42, due to the small number of cycles in that age group.
  • Clinics are listed alphabetically, not ranked. TreatCompare does not rate or recommend clinics.

An absent figure is not a poor figure. It generally means the clinic reports too few cycles for a rate to be published, or is newly accredited.
