Decades of Adelaide fertility expertise
Genea has been helping Australian families grow for more than 40 years. In Adelaide, that experience now works alongside two clinics with their own long-standing local history: FertilitySA has served Adelaide patients for almost three decades, and Embrace Fertility has supported patients from its Norwood clinic for over two decades. Both are now powered by Genea, bringing together established local care with Genea's national expertise and world-leading technology. Our Adelaide IVF clinics offer specialist consultations, fertility testing and in-cycle monitoring, with access to IVF, ICSI, IUI, egg and sperm freezing, donor programs and preimplantation genetic testing, all supported by Genea's laboratory expertise.
Every patient's path to parenthood looks different, and our Adelaide team is committed to walking that path with you, combining the personal touch of local care with the depth and resources of a national fertility network.

How do IVF success rates work?
When measuring births per complete egg retrieval cycle, including later embryo transfers, patients treated across Genea's network have a higher chance of success than the national average.
It's important to understand that factors such as age, the underlying cause of infertility and lifestyle all influence individual outcomes, and not every cycle will result in an egg collection, embryo transfer or embryo freeze. In November 2025, Genea clinics recorded a birth rate of 51.4% per complete egg retrieval cycle for patients under 35 years, against a national average of 46.4%, and 25.9% for patients aged 35 to 42 years, against a national average of 23.6%.
We believe in clear, transparent reporting. Our results are independently audited and reported to the National Perinatal Epidemiology and Statistics Unit (NPESU), and you can compare clinics for yourself on the Australian Government's YourIVFSuccess website. Learn more here.
Is IVF covered by Medicare in South Australia?
From 1 July 2026, South Australia has its own fertility treatment rebate scheme, a first for the state. Eligible residents can claim up to $2,000 per treatment cycle (for up to two cycles) plus a $250 rebate for pre-fertility testing, on top of the existing Medicare IVF rebate. To qualify, you need to be an SA resident seeking to become pregnant, with an eligible out-of-pocket cost from 1 July 2026 onwards, and meet one of three financial criteria: receiving Family Tax Benefit, holding a Health Care Card, or a household income of $180,000 or less.
The SA rebate applies last, after Medicare (and the Medicare Safety Net, if relevant) has already reduced your costs, so the two can stack to lower what you pay overall. To apply, complete a declaration form with your specialist and submit it through the SA Government's Concessions and Grants portal, keeping receipts for any testing or treatment from 1 July 2026.

Costs and payment options
The cost of fertility treatment in Adelaide depends on factors such as the treatment pathway you need, how many cycles are involved, and your personal Medicare and health fund entitlements. You will be given a clear, itemised breakdown specific to your situation so you know exactly what to expect.
Most patients undergoing IVF receive a partial Medicare rebate, though your actual out-of-pocket amount will differ based on your age, diagnosis, and private health cover. To get a clearer picture before starting treatment, our fertility concierges can prepare a personalised estimate tailored to your circumstances. To make treatment more manageable, flexible payment plans are also available. Get in touch with our Adelaide team for more information.
Discover Adelaide fertility services, tests and counselling options
At Embrace Fertility and FertilitySA powered by Genea, our Adelaide patients have access to a full suite of fertility services, from initial tests through to treatment, preservation, and ongoing support.
Fertility tests available
- Bulk-billed fertility assessment - a no cost consultation with a Fertility GP to review your history and understand your next steps, no referral needed

- Comprehensive fertility testing - a broader range of diagnostic tests to help identify potential challenges and inform your treatment plan
Fertility treatments available
- Ovulation induction - if your cycle is irregular or you're not ovulating regularly, medication can help stimulate ovulation and improve your chances of conceiving naturally or with assisted treatment
- Intrauterine insemination (IUI) - a lower intervention option where sperm is placed directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation, often recommended as a first step for couples or individuals with unexplained infertility
- In vitro fertilisation (IVF) - involves fertilising your eggs with sperm in the laboratory before transferring the embryo to the uterus
- Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) - involves injecting a single sperm directly into an egg to support fertilisation, commonly recommended where male factor infertility is involved, or previous transfers have been unsuccessful
Genetic testing
- Genetic carrier screening - checks whether you carry genes for inherited conditions that could be passed on to your children, giving you more information before treatment begins
- Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-M/PGT-A/PGT-SR) - available as part of an IVF cycle, screening embryos for genetic conditions or chromosomal abnormalities before transfer
- Genetic counselling - expert, compassionate guidance to help you make sense of your genetic test results and what they mean for your decisions
Preserving fertility
- Egg freezing - if you're not ready to start a family yet but want to keep your options open, freezing your eggs preserves them at their current quality for future use
- Sperm freezing - whether you're facing medical treatment or simply want a backup plan, freezing sperm is a straightforward way to protect your fertility
