Comparing IVF clinics

No better chance, no greater care

How do you choose a fertility clinic? What factors are important? We've put together a little list of things we think set Sydney IVF apart.

Success rates

It's very hard for us to compare our success rates with other clinics because there is no central, regulated way of reporting that would allow a direct comparison. Recently, however, we took a "snapshot" of all the new patients that came to us over a two year period and we looked at how their treatment turned out. You can see the full results on our Success Rates page.

In those two years, 15% of our new patients came to us after having unsuccessful treatment at another clinic. Of those, 66% aged under 36 had a baby after treatment with us.

Fees

When you compare Sydney IVF's fees with other private clinics, a cycle with us may cost you a few hundred dollars more out of pocket - this is because Sydney IVF refuses to compromise when it comes to support, services or science.

That said, our high success rates mean that it may take fewer treatment cycles with us to complete your family – 95% of women who have a baby with us do so in 1-3 cycles.

Sydney IVF also has a unique No Upfront Fees policy that means you pay nothing for your treatment until after your embryo transfer. Then we process your claims for you to make sure the money is back in your account within days instead of weeks or months.

Support

Our patients are each assigned a small, dedicated team of Nurse Coordinators and Patient Relationship Coordinators.  Your Nurse Coordinator will guide you through all the clinical aspects of your treatment. The Patient Relationship Coordinator will help you with everything else – things like Medicare claims, making appointments, even where to park.

You will have a number you can call 24 hours a day, seven days a week and speak to someone who knows about your case.

Services

Sydney IVF day surgeries are open seven days a week, so your eggs are collected at the precise moment they are ready. In most cases, you will have your own doctor performing the egg collection procedure.

Sydney IVF is the only IVF clinic in Australia with full in-house genetic testing. Our genetics division offers pre-conception screening for common disorders such as cystic fibrosis, prenatal screening for Down syndrome, and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis for embryos. Your genetic material does not leave our care. Other clinics send genetic material to external labs, sometimes even outside Australia.

Science

Sydney IVF is a world-leader in many areas of research into reproductive medicine. You can read more about our achievements on our Research page.

Every advance and test we make contributes to our knowledge of reproductive medicine and eventually benefits our IVF patients. It is this constant striving for improvement that gives us the edge in success rates over other clinics who do little or no research and merely follow standard treatments.
