One of the first concerns many people have about fertility treatment is understanding the costs. Navigating what’s included, available Medicare rebates, and the role of private insurance can often feel overwhelming and complex.
Transparency of fees is very important. To help you understand the potential costs, the table below outlines the up-front treatment costs at Rainbow Fertility, along with an estimate of the expected out-of-pocket expenses after the Medicare rebate. These estimates assume the individual or couple has reached the Medicare Safety Net threshold for the calendar year.
Fees are correct as of 1st September, 2026
| Treatment type | Treatment cost | Your estimated out of pocket cost (after Medicare rebate) |
|---|---|---|
| Initial IVF cycle | $11,000 – $11,300 | $5,262 – $5,562 |
| Subsequent IVF cycle | $11,000 – $11,300 | $4,546 – $4,846 |
| Initial IVF + ICSI cycle | $12,200 – $12,500 | $5,901- $6,201 |
| Subsequent IVF + ICSI cycle | $12,200 – $12,500 | $5,185 – $5,485 |
| Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) | $1,120 | $1,041 |

These fees do not include fertility specialist consultations, day hospital fees, freezing costs, storage and extra medications you may require. Additional clinician fees may apply depending on treatment plans. The fees assume that the person/couple has already reached the Medicare Safety Net threshold for that calendar year.

Donor Eggs
The cost of donor eggs will vary depending on whether you are choosing a local oocyte donor, sourced through our partnership with Egg Donors Australia, or an overseas donor, sourced through either The World Egg and Sperm Bank, Genesis International or Manor Baby. The cost may also vary depending on whether you choose frozen or fresh oocytes. For more information, download our Guide to Donor Oocyte Fees.
We are confident that you will be able to achieve a pregnancy within two fully stimulated IVF cycles*; therefore, we offer a reduced up-front fee for repeated treatment cycles. This means that a discount will be applicable from the third IVF cycle onwards with Rainbow Fertility, regardless of when you had your previous cycles.
*Success rates will vary depending on your individual circumstances, including factors such as age, quality of embryos, number of previous cycles and whether you have been pregnant before.
Fertility testing and IVF rebates are available for New South Wales patients.

Currently, Medicare rebates for fertility treatments are only available if a medical cause of infertility is diagnosed. Surrogacy treatments do not qualify.
If diagnosed with medical infertility, you can claim Medicare rebates for most fertility treatments. A current referral from a GP or specialist gynaecologist/obstetrician is required, including your name, your partner’s name (if applicable), and your date of birth.
