Egg freezing costs

The cost of egg freezing varies across fertility clinics.

In Australia, one egg freezing cycle can cost between $7,000 and $15,000 (including medications, anaesthetic fees, and hospital fees)*. The cost for hormone medications can vary by patient. Fertility specialist consultations are generally not included in this price, and there may be additional costs for some blood tests and scans.

The cost for additional egg freezing cycles will generally be the same as the first one or will be slightly cheaper depending on the clinic.

Ongoing storage fees will also need to be paid. These fees vary across clinics but can be around $500-$600 per year*. Storage fees may change over time.

When contacting a fertility clinic, it is important to ask for the full cost of everything needed to go through an egg freezing cycle and to store your eggs.

The cost of egg freezing can add to the difficulty of making your decision and it may be unaffordable. Consider how many cycles you can afford, and how long you would store your eggs for.

Rebates and reimbursements

Medicare may partially cover the cost for fertility specialist appointments if you have a valid GP referral.

Medicare generally does not cover any cost for egg freezing for age-related reasons. However, you may qualify for a rebate if your fertility specialist identifies an eligible medical condition during your assessments. It is important to speak to a fertility specialist about whether any Medicare rebates apply to you for egg freezing.

Some private health insurance companies may reimburse some costs (e.g. hospital fees), however there are still likely to be large out of pocket expenses to cover. If you have private health insurance, you may like to ask your provider what they cover.

Some workplaces may also reimburse some costs for egg freezing. If this is available at your workplace, please check with what they cover.

Costs of using frozen eggs

There are more costs to consider if you decide to use your frozen eggs. These may include the costs for appointments, counselling, procedures, medications, and donor sperm (if you decide to use it). Some of these costs may have Medicare rebates. Check with your fertility clinic if there are any rebates available to you.
