How much does an IVF fertility assessment cost?
IVF Fertility Assessment (Male & Female) - Bulk Bill plus the cost of an AMH test
This includes your initial consultation to discuss your medical history and the coordination of your male and female fertility tests. We bulk bill all possible blood tests to ensure you receive a thorough assessment at an affordable rate.
A fertility assessment can identify why you are not falling pregnant and help our experienced fertility specialists determine the best IVF treatments to help you fall pregnant faster.
Medicare, bulk billing and IVF
Bulk billing is a payment option under the Medicare system of universal health insurance in Australia, where your health services provider directly receives the Medicare rebate as full payment for their services.
This means you are not required to pay any up-front costs for bulk billed services. Whilst the cycles themselves are bulk billed, it is important to be aware that eligible patients will still have some out of pocket expenses, as some expenses aren't covered by Medicare. These include fees for hospital procedures, some pathology tests and your medications.
To make an appointment at our Bulk Bill IVF clinic, call 1800 842 862.
IVF with no private health insurance
During IVF treatment your private health insurance can only be used to help cover Day Hospital and anaesthetist fees associated with the egg collection.
Is IVF free in Victoria?
The Victorian Government has announced they will launch public fertility services from October 2022. However, demand is expected to be high, and eligible patients will be placed on a waitlist for up to 12 months.

At The Fertility Centre, we bulk bill all Medicare eligible expenses, including blood tests, GP and nurse consultations, egg and sperm collections, IVF cycle fees, embryo transfer, and pregnancy tests.
