80% of Costs are covered by Medicare once you reach the Safety Net of $1054.

Hi Brooke,
I'm just starting my first cycle of ivf through Westmead Fertility Centre. I'm not seeing the same dr as you but I can answer you on costs... Total cost is $1450. If you've reached the medicare safety net, you'll get 80% back once the cycle is completed. Westmead Fertility Centre have a really informative website, not sure if you've checked it out.

Hi Brooke,
I'm with Dr Smith. He's been great, answering all of our questions and stepping us through treatment options. We've got "unexplained infertility" and we'd had all routine tests done before we got to our first appt - blood tests, tubes checked, sperm, etc... so our first appt was discussing medical history and our options. We decided on an option - which was also the one recommended by the dr, signed forms and were given instructions on what to do next...

The clinic nurses are fantastic. They're available 7 days to answer questions and help you through the treatment.

Don't forget to take $6 in coins for car parking at Westmead!
