Full Service IVF Costs
At Life Fertility, we believe fertility treatment should be both high quality and affordable. Our pricing is designed to be transparent, with no surprises, so you can make informed decisions about your treatment.
For many patients, our full-service IVF cycles cost around $2,000 less than comparable treatment at other Brisbane and Queensland full-service fertility clinics, while still providing access to experienced fertility specialists, comprehensive nursing support and accredited laboratory services.
To help you plan for treatment, we’ve outlined the typical out-of-pocket costs for our most common IVF treatment pathways after Medicare rebates and applicable Medicare Safety Net benefits.
- First IVF Cycle (Freeze-All): $4,540–$4,890
- Subsequent IVF Cycle (Freeze-All): $2,660–$3,010
- Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET): Approximately $2,600

Every treatment plan is tailored to your individual circumstances, so actual costs may vary. Once your specialist has confirmed your treatment plan, we will provide you with a detailed estimate of fees.
Comparing IVF Costs
When comparing IVF costs between clinics, it is important to understand exactly what is included in the quoted price. Some clinics may advertise only part of the treatment cost, with additional fees applying for services such as egg collection, treatment room fees, embryo freezing, embryo storage or medications.
We encourage patients to compare the total expected cost of treatment, rather than a single Medicare item or advertised starting price.
Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)
As part of a Freeze-All IVF cycle, any suitable embryos are frozen following fertilisation. Your specialist will then advise the most appropriate time for a Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET).
A typical FET cycle costs approximately $2,600 after Medicare rebates and applicable Medicare Safety Net benefits. You will receive a detailed estimate before treatment commences.
Medicare item codes: 13218, 13209, 13215

How much does my First Appointment Cost?
If you book a consultation with a Fertility Specialist or are contemplating treatment through our Full-Service IVF and Treatment Program, please note that the cost of your initial consultation will vary based on the Fertility Specialist you select. Prices below are for face-to-face consults with a Fertility Specialist (after Medicare Rebates and provided you have a GP referral):
- First consult: $170 – $230
- Future consults: $80 – $100
- Partners are bulk-billed
If you have decided to go through our Bulk Bill IVF and IUI Program, all of your face-to-face consults will be with a Fertility Doctor (GP) and be bulk-billed.
Can we have Bulk Billed IVF if my partner has had a vasectomy?
Yes, you can have Bulk Billed or Full Service IVF treatment at Life Fertility Clinic if your partner has had a vasectomy.
We can offer testicular sperm aspiration (TESA – to retrieve sperm) and help you achieve a pregnancy through IVF even if your partner has had a vasectomy.
Please note, there are additional costs for this procedure, it is not bulk billed.
You can find more detailed information about sperm retrieval procedures in this fact sheet.
Is everyone eligible for Bulk Billed IVF?
Age is the single biggest factor affecting a woman’s ability to achieve a pregnancy and have a healthy baby – either naturally or through IVF.
IVF Treatment through our Bulk Billed Program is therefore only available to women who are 45 years of age or younger (at the time of egg collection).
However, if you are over 45, you may be suitable for IVF treatment through our Full-Service Fertility Program.
Additionally our Bulk Bill IVF program has a BMI requirement and we will only treat patients who have a BMI under 41. We have no BMI restriction in our Full Service Program.
If you have a Medicare Card you are eligible for Medicare Rebates on your treatment and doctor consultations.
How much will my Fertility Tests Cost?
Depending on your medical history a variety of tests will be recommended for you and your partner (if relevant). These may include blood tests that will investigate:
- Hormone levels (reproductive and thyroid function)
- Infectious diseases (e.g. HIV, Hep B & C, rubella)
- Chromosomal analysis (also known as karyotyping)
These tests are typically bulk billed if you have a Medicare Card.
There are some other tests that may be needed to give your Fertility Specialist a thorough understanding of your reproductive health. These may include:
- AMH test and ultrasound scan for the female partner
- Semen analysis for the male partner.
There will be some out-of-pocket costs associated with these depending on which pathology lab is used. There can be quite some variation in pricing, so you may want to phone your local pathology provider to find out their current pricing before having your tests.
