Aus/Kiwi cysters: Post your ivf clinic/adoption/foster care info here
Hi everyone.
I hope this info will be of some benefit to the Aussie and Kiwi cysters looking into ivf type treatments and adoption/foster care, surrogacy, living childfree etc.
If you have any questions, stories or other info/contacts or personal experiences to share, please add to the thread.
Thanks.
Good Luck and best wishes to all.
Rhon.
PS: Amy, is it possible to make this a sticky so its easy to find? Thanks I.A.
These sites are not a complete list, but a good place to start. Some of these clinics do have websites that are not listed here, so I will list them in another post below.
Other sites with info & Message/Bulletin boards for ivf, icsi, iui, male factor, egg donors, sperm donors, adoption/foster care and other infertility issues:
Ivf connections lists a huge number of boards such as egg donor, infertility, miscarriage etc & also has a pcos forum, & an ivf in Australia/ ivf in NZ forum on their message boards.
VICTORIA: http://www.mivf.com.au
You can also access some of the melbourne ivf private clinic staff as a public patient through the Royal Womens Hospital, see mivf website for more details. They also run a Big Girls program, which assists ttcers and pcosers to lose weight for infertility problems run by well known pcos specialist Dr Kate Stern.

This is a WA based group with a clinic in Canberra, although you may have to contact them via email in WA as the site seems based there?
TASMANIA: http://www.sivf.com.au
Sydney ivf offers clinics in Launceston, see website for details.
NEW SOUTH WALES: http://www.sivf.com.au
Sydney ivf is a private clinic but you can access some of the sivf medical staff as a public patient through RPA Hospital,
contact the RPA Fertility Clinic on ph 02 9515.8824
SIVF also offers clinics in Sydney, Liverpool, Wollongong, Canberra, Coffs Harbour, Lismore, Orange & Tamworth and other regional & city areas.
I can't add much to Rhon's comprehensive lists, except this.
I am lucky to live in this little hick town called Rockhampton, which has a fertility clinic that cites the best success rates in Australia. Their name is CQ Fertility and they service a big region around Rockhampton. They use contemporary methods and are very keen on only using IVF as a last resort. I think a really good thing is that they are a one-stop shop. Being co-located beside a private hospital, you can have your retrieval done just next door, then have other processes done at the clinic. There is also a resident gynaecologist/RE; technicians for all the lab stuff, lovely support staff.
If you want more details, feel free to PM me anytime.
Consider it stuck !!!!!!! Good one Rhon! What a comprehensive list. If others have anything to add, please do. The more information we share, the easier it is for others.
My own personal experience with IVF was excellent. I went through Queensland Fertility Group on Wickham Tce in Brisbane. My doc was David Lingard, one of the directors. They are really, really good with fabulous pregnancy rates with lovely staff. They have onstaff councillors (which are free), support magazines for infertility... I used them both and they really helped me through it well. For such a difficult, trying time in your life it was really nice to be dealing with people who care what you are going through. I don't have any doubts in recommending them 100%
