Issy02 - I see your point.

What I think would be a great outcome is for the government to push the IVF clinics to "up their game". In my humble non-medical opinion, I do not think the Aus clinics apply global best practices to IVF. I think that if they were pushed to try some of the newer protocols being used around the world, and ensured their labs were up to the latest & greatest, and were forced to report greater detail on statistics to a central repository that allowed for side-by-side comparison, it would be better for everyone. I think it would improve IVF success rates, thus lowering the cost to IVF-ers and the government, while meeting the goal of helping as many people as possible get pregnant and make informed choices about which clinic to go to.
Couldn't have said it better myself!
