What is included in City Fertility fees
The fees listed above are based on the patient being eligible for Medicare and having reached the Medicare Safety Net threshold for that calendar year. Final out-of-pocket expenses will vary depending on the patient’s individual circumstances and treatment plan. Fees are provided as a guide only and are subject to change without prior notice.
The IVF cycle fees above include:
- Comprehensive education on the treatment process
- Comprehensive financial quote and assistance with Medicare Claims

- Ultrasounds with your specialist during your IVF cycle
- Standard laboratory scientific services including extended culture

Please note: Cycle fees are not inclusive of specialist fees for planning and managing your cycle, performing the EPU and attending the transfer. Please contact the office of your specialist, whose details can be found in the Specialist Team section of this website, for further information regarding their consultation, cycle fees and the relevant rebates.
The fees listed are based on a standard IVF cycle, if your treatment involves donor gametes, please contact the clinic for a tailored quote suitable to your treatment plan.
The upfront fee payable varies depending on the City Fertility location that you are attending for treatment. Please contact your local patient services team for an individual quote relevant to your treatment plan.
Day Surgery Fees and Medication
Medication
The Federal Government requires patients to pay a PBS co-payment for each type of fertility medication listed on the prescription from your fertility specialist.
The average price per cycle is estimated to be approximately $160. However, this fee may vary depending on your treatment plan.
The PBS co-payment is not applicable to a Medicare-ineligible cycle. Medicare-ineligible patients will pay for their medication privately according to the price schedule of the pharmacy that dispenses the medication to them.
Day Hospital and anaesthetist fees
Hospital bed fees and anaesthetic fees associated with the egg collection are not included in City Fertility fees. If you have private health insurance with hospital cover for Assisted Reproductive Technology, you may be partially covered for these costs. We recommend that you contact your Private Health fund and quote Medicare item number 13212 to confirm your level of cover.
If you do not have private health insurance or are not covered, the cost of your procedure will vary depending on the private hospital or day procedure centre you attend. Please contact our patient services team to provide you with an estimate of these fees.
Where possible all egg pick-up, transfers and IUI procedures occur at our conveniently located onsite City Health Day Hospitals / Procedure Centers. Day surgery theatre and accommodation costs within a City Health Day Hospital / Procedure Centre may be partially covered by your private health insurance. For all egg pick up procedures you will be required to pay your excess (if applicable) and the gap between your private health rebate and the total fee.
If you have limited or no health fund cover, the procedure cost for an EPU is between $1,310 -$1,350, embryo transfer is $340 and IUI is $340. All hospital fees are payable upon admission to the hospital.
Please note that there will be an additional charge for the anaesthetist in attendance of approximately $500-$800, that is billed directly to the patient of which a Medicare rebate will apply and may be eligible for private health fund rebate.

National - Storage fees
The payment options available for the storage of eggs, sperm, or embryos include the following:
- Monthly Direct Debit: $40 per month
- Annual payment: $540 per year
Please note that storage fees are charged per gamete type in storage.
We currently use Ezypay, a direct debit platform to manage all of our storage payments. We appreciate that not all patients like to use direct debit as a payment method. We therefore offer an alternative for patients to pay upfront on a yearly basis for storage, this fee is slightly higher due to the additional management and follow-up required to keep your account up to date.
If you are an existing patient and wish to modify your payment method for storage fees, kindly reach out to our Patient Services team at your clinic. We are here to assist you with any inquiries or adjustments you may need.
Please be aware that storage payments are reviewed annually and are subject to change.
