Sydney IVF have upped their prices (as at Nov. 1) to the equivalent of export earnings of a small country.

[All figures approx] Initial stim cycle payment was $5700, now $8750. Out of pocket after rebate variable between $1500 - $3800 depending on where you're at with the safety net. The rebate stuff isn't definite until Nov 1 when Medicare release their figures, but imagine paying nearly $4000 for a stim cycle. This has really wrecked our night.

With a FET it was $2220 up front, and now will be $3300. Rebate variable between $400 - $1750.

They claim to be the best, but with prices like that people are going to go elsewhere I reckon. Unfortunately unless we want to travel 400km for every appointment, then this isn't possible for us.
