IVFAustralia Fertility Doctors
Each of our fertility specialists brings their unique expertise and understanding to IVFAustralia. Many have worked at the forefront of IVF developments in Australia and overseas. Often they have spent many years practising as Obstetricians and Gynaecologists before dedicating their practice to Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. Your fertility specialist will play an integral role in your treatment and care, performing your procedures including egg collection and embryo transfer.
Online consultations available
- All of our doctors are consulting. We are offering secure online medical appointments by Zoom. We are here to talk to you, to provide medical advice and make plans for the future with you, all in the privacy and the safety of your own home.
- Our counselling team is here to provide you with ongoing counselling and support. If you have agreed a cycle plan with your doctor and are finding the delay stressful, our counselling team is here to provide you with free support.
- If any of our patients are short of time and do need to continue with simple treatments, such as using fertility drugs, artificial insemination or transfer of a frozen embryo, we can still do this. Just talk to your doctor and your nursing team.
Medicare now funds some telehealth consultations, so check with your fertility specialist first to understand the costs.
