I'm a little afraid to sit down and add up what our first cycle cost us... Didn't help that I didn't realise the hospital charges for the EPU weren't included, and our PHI doesn't cover assisted conception. Although, I must say that overall it wasn't actually that bad - helps that my DH is a bit of a scrooge so there were savings that I didn't know existed that went towards a lot of it. We went through Next Generation Fertility here in Sydney - no extra charges for ICSI, which was great. Extra charges for blastocyst culture ($600) and they're talking about using polscope if we get to another one - $400, but they say it should reduce the fragmentation rates and give us more embryos in the end.

Bec7, I'm afraid there's no medicare rebate on the freezing fees, don't know if you may get anything from health insurance though.
