The 10 Best Fertility and IVF Clinics in Melbourne

People with complicated situations, such as recurrent miscarriage or male-factor infertility, suit Dr Lantsberg, who has worked solely in fertility medicine for more than a decade. He is a clinical director at Melbourne IVF and consults from its Wellington Street building in Collingwood. His options include mini-IVF, surgical sperm retrieval and donor conception for single parents and same-sex couples. Laboratory work is handled by Melbourne IVF, so treatment stays within one group.

Patients who want to try simpler, cheaper steps before IVF are well served here, because Dr Weston founded City Babies, a Richmond clinic focused on ovulation induction and IUI. He holds a PhD and CREI sub-specialty training in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. Full IVF, egg freezing, donor programs and surrogacy support are also available. Rooms in St Albans, Point Cook and regional Gippsland mean many patients can consult closer to home.

Families in Melbourne's northern suburbs can complete IVF close to home here, since the clinic has its own purpose-built laboratory inside Northern Private Hospital in Epping. Every IVF and ICSI cycle includes EmbryoScope time-lapse monitoring, RI Witness electronic tracking and EmbryoGlue at no extra charge. Fees are published together with estimated out-of-pocket costs after Medicare. Day surgery, anaesthetic and medication costs are billed separately, so budget for those on top.

Its strength lies in combining fertility treatment with gynaecological surgery under one roof, useful when endometriosis or PMOS is part of the picture. Medical director Dr Rachael Knight has worked in IVF since 1999, alongside CREI-trained Dr Rebecca Mackenzie-Proctor. Treatment ranges from ovulation induction and IUI to IVF, ICSI and embryo genetic testing. Patients without a referral can first see the clinic's own fertility GP, which shortens the path to a specialist appointment.

Patients who want to see fees before committing will find this doctor-led clinic easy to plan around, as it publishes indicative prices for IVF, frozen embryo transfers and elective egg freezing. Founded in 2018 by Dr Lynn Burmeister, it runs its own laboratory and research team. Melbourne patients are seen in East Melbourne or at 1 Collins Street, with fertility surgery at Epworth Freemasons. Free nurse and finance chats let you ask questions before booking a specialist.

Patients who may need surgery for endometriosis or fibroids before trying to conceive benefit from a doctor who handles both stages. A/Prof Alex Polyakov combines fertility medicine with keyhole surgery, gynaecology and obstetrics, so care can run from diagnosis through conception to delivery. Genea lists him as medical director of its Melbourne City clinic on Victoria Parade. His fertility services include ovulation induction, IUI, IVF and egg freezing.

Women who would like the same doctor from fertility treatment through to the birth suit Dr Karen Paice, an obstetrician, gynaecologist and fertility specialist who works with Melbourne IVF. Her fertility work covers IVF and egg freezing, along with laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis. Her rooms are on Victoria Parade in Fitzroy. Appointments can be booked online, which makes arranging a first consultation simple.

Patients in the eastern suburbs get the whole treatment cycle at one address, because Newlife carries out every procedure at its Thames Street site in Box Hill North. The building houses day surgery run by Epworth Eastern, an andrology laboratory, scanning and cycle monitoring. Consultations are also held in Clayton and East Melbourne, but egg collections and transfers happen only in Box Hill. Counselling and a financing appointment come before IVF begins, so costs are clear early.

Patients who want fertility treatment inside a broader women's health practice will find it at Women's Health Melbourne, led by Dr Raelia Lew. She is a RANZCOG-certified CREI subspecialist, medical director of Melbourne IVF and author of the ANZSREI guideline on elective egg freezing. Colleagues in the practice cover gynaecology, menopause, endocrinology and Chinese medicine. That mix helps when hormones, weight or other health questions sit alongside plans for a family.

Couples and individuals priced out of full-fee IVF are the natural audience for Adora, a bulk-billed clinic network with a Victorian base in Greensborough. Its own comparison puts an average fresh IVF or ICSI cycle at about a quarter of the full-fee price. Dr Julie Whitehead, Dr Stephanie Sii and Dr Shanthi Srinivasan consult here, with blood tests and scans on site during cycles. The clinic is about 250 metres from Greensborough station, handy for patients in the north-east.
