If you live in NSW and have been considering IVF treatment, then we have some encouraging news for you. Roughly 12,000 people undergoing IVF treatment in NSW will be able to claim a $2000 rebate as part of the $42 million “Affordable IVF initiative” as announced by the NSW Government in May.

The NSW rebate will commence on the 1st of January, 2023. Those who have undergone an eligible procedure from the 1st of October 2022 will also be able to submit a claim once the rebate scheme commences.
Once the scheme has commenced, you may be able to claim the one-time payment following your fertility specialist’s request for IVF treatment and/or pre-IVF fertility testing.
With the news of this scheme and the fact we are heading into the busiest time of year, we strongly recommend booking your fertility consultation and/or appointments ahead of time. You can access our services in NSW from our Sydney clinics in the CBD, Liverpool and Miranda.
There is also a rebate available to NSW residents that helps subsidise out of pocket expenses for pre-IVF fertility testing. Click here to find out more.
While these benefits are very exciting news for those experiencing infertility and a positive step in the right direction, it is important to note there is still more work to be done to further support the LGBTI+ community.
