Question

What will be the cost for IVF in melbourne. will there be any medicare coverage ?

Answer 1

Medicare covers IVF for married and de facto couples. AFAIK, no Medicare coverage is available for single women or same s*x couples.

Because of Medicare Safety Net thresholds, the first treatment cycle in a calendar year costs more than subsequent cycles in the same calendar year. See link for cost and other information:

You will probably also need private hospital health cover as IVF is an elective procedure and is subject to public hospital waiting lists.
