Women in Willoughby who have IVF or other assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatments in private clinics can now claim a $2,000 cash rebate as part of the NSW Government fertility initiative, the first of its kind in Australia.
Member for Willoughby Tim James said the $80 million expansion to the NSW Affordable IVF Initiative will extend rebates for pre-IVF fertility testing, increase the number of IVF treatment places in publicly supported clinics and increase fertility preservation services for patients with a medical need, among other benefits.
“The new $2,000 fertility treatment rebate will help around 12,000 women with out-of-pocket costs and see fertility treatments become more widely accessible to NSW families,” Mr James said.
“No one should be denied the opportunity to start a family because of cost.”
Eligible women can apply through their MyService NSW account or in person at a Service NSW Service Centre. For more information, visit MyService website.
