Don't worry about your private insurance - in the end it won't make a huge amount of difference - I have top cover and I think I got about $400 back from my last stimulation cycle. Once you look at the other out of pockets it won't make much difference.
In relation to your question about timeframes - it really depends on your specialist. Most like to have had some tests done before they start - specially a sperm test - the last thing that they want is to get to the day of pickup and get a surprise with the swimmers. And after they have these results depending on the regime they choose you will have a pickup at least 6 weeks later, depending on where you are in your cycle at the time. It also depends on where you are - some regional clinics like to have all their patients cycle the same week but if you are in the city then that isn't an issue.
I suppose realistically, I think that you should expect to be able to get one cycle in before Christmas if you wanted to - if that gives you a timeframe to work to.
Good luck with your next appointment
