Fertility clinic

A licensed unit providing fertility treatment and laboratory services.

Clinics and care

Australian fertility clinics range from large national providers to independent and bulk-billed services. Practical differences that matter include which specialist you see at each visit, monitoring locations and hours, laboratory practices, counselling availability, add-on policy and total cost. Visiting or calling two or three before committing is reasonable.

Also known as: IVF clinic, fertility centre, ART unit
