How much do my appointments cost?
All in-person appointments with our fertility doctors are bulk billed, and nursing appointments are free of charge.
If you are unable to attend our Bowen Hills or North Lakes clinics in person, please be aware that video and tele-consults are not eligible for Medicare rebates and do incur a fee. There are typically two of these appointments per IVF cycle.
Am I eligible for Bulk Billed IVF?
Our Bulk Billed IVF program is open to most patients. Your Fertility Doctor will assess your suitability at your first consultation. The main eligibility criteria are:
- Age: 45 years or younger at the time of egg collection
- BMI: Under 41
- Medicare card required to access rebates
In some cases — such as multiple miscarriages or known gynaecological issues — our full service fertility program may be better suited to your needs. Your doctor will talk you through all options at your consultation. If you are over 45 or have a BMI over 41, you may still be suitable for IVF through our full service fertility program.
How do I get started?
- Book a bulk billed consultation — your first appointment with one of our fertility doctors is bulk billed. You can attend in person at our Bowen Hills or North Lakes clinics, or via tele-consult if you’re outside Brisbane.
- Fertility investigations — your doctor will oversee your initial investigations across typically two bulk billed appointments, plus one free appointment with a fertility nurse.
- Begin treatment — once confirmed as suitable, your treatment is managed by our fertility doctors and nursing team, supported by our administration, nursing, and scientific staff.
