Approximately 1 in every 25 births in Australia is a result of IVF treatment.

We’re here to change that.
Starting the journey towards IVF is a profound step for any couple. It’s a path filled with hope, but we recognise it can also bring a range of emotions and uncertainties. As you consider IVF as a means to fulfil your dream of parenthood, we’re here to walk alongside you with empathy and understanding. Our Mackay IVF treatment is ready when you are.
IVF or In Vitro Fertilisation, is a medical procedure used to assist with conception and fertility. It involves fertilising an egg with sperm outside the body, in a laboratory setting. Once the egg is fertilised and develops into an embryo, it is then transferred back into the uterus, with the goal of achieving a successful pregnancy.
IVF is a widely used treatment for various fertility issues and has helped many individuals and couples realise their dreams of parenthood.
After fertilisation, the embryos are monitored as they grow in the laboratory for several days. The embryologist assesses their development and quality.
We acknowledge that a fear of needles, the unknown outcome, or disappointment are all common barriers that may be delaying your action.
Let’s discuss your concerns and options with an open mind and heart.
Methods like Ovulation Induction, Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), or even sexual intercourse that aligns with your fertility window, might be sufficient for your treatment needs. However, if you’ve been trying to conceive for 12 months or longer without success, we recommend arranging an appointment at our IVF Mackay clinic.
Egg collection clinics do fill up fast, and the wait may be up to 3 months. Talk to us where we can confirm a more realistic time frame.
The IVF process involves multiple entities and costs. For one, you’ll need to consider IVF procedure, which includes egg collection and embryo transfer. Bear in mind that Medicare offers a rebate. Additionally, there will be a separate fee for the anaesthetist, and the cost of medications will vary as each patient requires different prescriptions.
For those with health insurance, only the excess applies for the hospital fee. While you don’t need private health insurance, each admission to hospital for egg collection or embryo transfer will then incur an admission fee. Speak to us for an accurate IVF pricing that is tailored to your personal circumstances.
IVF can be an emotionally and physically demanding process, and success rates vary based on several factors, including your age, the cause of infertility, and the quality of the embryos. We invite you to reach out to us to discuss how we can assist you in this important phase of your life.
