How can IVFAustralia help me start my family?


For many Australian couples, the journey to parenthood does not always happen as quickly as they expect. Fortunately, advances in assisted conception treatments can make a real difference.

Whether you require a simple approach, such as Ovulation Induction or IUI (intra uterine insemination), or more complex treatment, such as IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation), IVFAustralia can support you at every step of the way. We understand that many people do not have the opportunity to start their family until they are over 35 and their fertility has already started to decline, by circumstance rather than by choice.

At IVFAustralia, you’ll have the support of experienced local fertility specialists with access to the most advanced science and effective fertility treatments available in the world. We’re dedicated to giving you the best possible chance of having a baby.

If you’ve been trying for 12 months or more (or 6 months if you are over over 35years of age), we recommend you seek advice from a fertility specialist.

The first step is to undergo a number of routine tests and procedures, to identify any specific issues before we develop a treatment plan for you.

Arrange an appointment with one of our fertility specialists.

Find out more about the initial investigations involved in assessing a woman’s fertility.

A semen analysis by our laboratory is the most effective first step in assessing a man’s fertility, there are also other tests we may need to carry out.

Understand simple day procedures that can help us identify causes of infertility, and overcome those problems.

We can encourage the development and release of eggs, improving the chances of conception without the need for more invasive fertility treatments.

Before considering IVF, you may wish to try a procedure where sperm is injected into the uterus at the time an egg is released (ovulation).

For many couples, this advanced process offers the best chance of conceiving. In Vitro Fertilisation is where egg and sperm are combined in the laboratory and resulting embryos then transferred to the woman’s uterus.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is an advanced IVF technique which  involves injecting a single sperm into an egg if the man’s sperm count is low or his sperm cannot penetrate the egg naturally.

Our Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) laboratory team is regarded as the best in Australia, and can test embryos for specific genetic or chromosomal abnormalities.

IVFAustralia invests extensively into scientific research to continually improve outcomes for our patients, and our team of scientists can now offer a wide range of techniques to maximise your chances of pregnancy success.

Do you need to use donated eggs, sperm or embryos? Or would you like to find out more about becoming an egg or sperm donor? Or surrogacy options? We can help.

We are able to freeze eggs and sperm to safeguard future fertility for both women and men.

We provide extensive specialist support to help you cope with the emotional aspects of fertility treatment.

IVFAustralia's medical and scientific team, support staff and all facilities meet the highest level of independent global quality standards.
