Today, the Victorian Government's statewide public IVF services commence. Last week, Premier Dan Andrews announced the initiative saying, "IVF can be incredibly hard — but some families can’t even try because of the cost. But not for long."​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ The services have been created with the aim of making it easier and fairer for more Victorians to access these services so, while to be be eligible, all you need is to be a Victorian resident with a medicare card and a doctor's referral, they are hoping to especially aid low-incomer earners, people who need fertility preservation due to medical treatment, such as those with cancer or undergoing gender reassignment, those who need donor and surragacy services, such as LGBTQ+ and single people, and those who are known carriers of medical conditions and need genetic testing.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Head to the link in bio for more information about locations and eligibility.
