Affordable In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) and Fertility Support Initiative

The Affordable In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) and Fertility Support Initiative provides a rebate of up to $2,000 to help with the cost of eligible fertility treatment.

You can apply for the rebate if you received eligible treatment from TasIVF or Fertility Tasmania on or after 1 July 2026.

  reasons)
