Did you know we offer an IVF package that allows for a 70% refund if unsuccessful?
We are the only clinic in Australia and New Zealand that does this.
Just like nature, fertility treatment may take some time to achieve success. The chance of having a child after 1, 2, 3 or more cycles is called a cumulative pregnancy rate.
Our Fertility Cover programme gives you 3 chances to have a baby, with a 70% refund if you are unsuccessful. The programme has been going for 5 years, with 88% of people starting Fertility Cover having a baby.
Who can apply?
- Current or new private patients at Fertility Associates
- Publicly funded patients either waiting or who have finished funded IVF cycles. If you have a child from private treatment during this programme, it may change your eligibility for publicly funded treatment. If you have any questions please check with our funding coordinator.
How to apply
- First step is to have an initial consultation with a Fertility Associates doctor and from there your doctor will determine the right course of treatment for you. If IVF is the right treatment for you, you may be eligible for the Fertility CoverTM programme.
