An Australian-first IVF rebate designed to tackle falling fertility rates will be significantly scaled back, making it only available to the lowest-paid workers in NSW. Couples earning over $116,000 will be ineligible for the $2000 state-funded rebate from February, potentially reducing access to costly IVF procedures.
An Australian-first IVF rebate designed to boost falling fertility rates will be significantly scaled back, allowing only the lowest-paid workers in NSW to access the $2000 payment.
Single mother Tamara spent $50,000 on four cycles of IVF before falling pregnant with her daughter, Eva. Tamara used all her savings trying for a much-wanted baby, but would not be eligible for the revised rebate because of her income. Monash IVF Sydney clinical director Katrina Rowan noted fertility rates were at an all-time low of 1.5 children per woman.
