    We asked when we were going through things with MIVF. We wanted to know if we could transfer them to NZ and the answer was absolutely yes (this was important to us). I guess the rules are the same for interstate.
    I would be good to hear from someone who has actually done it.

    Thanks for your posts.

    I actually spent the morning on the phone today and worked out that there is a simple form to complete and submit to Victorian Assisted Reproductive Treatment Authority (VARTA) (formerly the Infertility Treatment Authority) (the form is one their web site for anyone who needs it) for consideration and then approval - which should be granted as we are a pretty straight forward case.

    Now the decision is what to do - I've spoken to the Albury clinic and they seem nice, but I know and trust MIVF...it is just the travel down for scans that is the sticking point now that my work is not in Melb and that I have a toddler to consider.

    On the upside at least this is a good delimma to have - many have no choice but to travel lots to get treatment!

    Good luck lise - hope the FET goes well.
