The average IVF cost in Australia ranges from $9,000 to $15,000 per cycle at full-fee clinics. At First Step Fertility, our bulk billed IVF reduces costs by up to 75%, with expenses under $2,000.
ICSI treatment cost at full-fee clinics can exceed $3,000. At First Step Fertility, we offer an affordable alternative, with out-of-pocket expenses under $650. Please contact our team for more information.
In Australia, gender selection with IVF is generally not allowed unless for medical reasons. Regulations restrict selecting a baby’s sex unless to prevent genetic conditions.
IVF and ICSI are both fertility treatments, but the main difference lies in how fertilisation occurs. In IVF, sperm and egg are combined naturally in a lab dish. In ICSI, a single sperm is injected directly into the egg, often used for male infertility. ICSI involves an additional procedure, so it generally costs more than standard IVF—but at First Step Fertility, it remains affordable with Medicare rebate options.
