$2000 NSW Fertility Treatment Rebate

If you live in NSW and have been considering IVF treatment, there’s a great opportunity to save on costs. The NSW government provides a Fertility Treatment rebate to assist with expenses related to IVF and other Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) treatments.

Since 1 October 2022, women in NSW who undergo eligible fertility treatments can claim a rebate of up to $2,000.

What’s included in the NSW fertility rebate package?

Those who are eligible will benefit from:

1. A $2000 rebate when undergoing IVF treatment in NSW
2. An extended rebate for pre-IVF fertility testing
3. If you are a teacher, nurse or other NSW public servant, you will receive five days of paid fertility treatment leave.

The rebate can only be claimed once per individual.

To apply, you must: 

• be a woman (note: Service NSW acknowledges people in the transgender community or who are non-binary, may receive fertility treatment but may not identify as a woman)
• be a resident of NSW

Upcoming changes to the NSW rebate (Effective 19 February 2025)

The NSW Government’s $2000 IVF rebate is changing soon. Act before 18 February 2025 to benefit from the current eligibility criteria. After this date, more specific requirements will apply under the Fertility Treatment Rebate-2 Program.

From 19th February 2025, patients undergoing fertility treatment must meet new criteria you must either:

• Have a combined household income of $116,000 or less. OR
• Receive Family Tax Benefit OR
• Hold a Health Care Card

If you don’t meet these new criteria, you won’t be eligible for the NSW fertility treatment rebate. If you’ve already received the $2,000 rebate under the current program (valid until 18 February 2025), you will not be eligible for the Fertility Treatment Rebate-2 Program.
