SA Health's register lists 4 registered assisted reproductive treatment providers in South Australia: Flinders Fertility, Repromed, Family Fertility Centre and Fertility SA (July 2026). The state does not publish its own cycle or success figures, and the national registry has no state breakdown, so the results below are national.
Registration matters for your budget: South Australia's Fertility Treatment Rebate Scheme, which pays A$2,000 per treatment cycle for up to two cycles to eligible residents since 1 July 2026, only applies to treatment from a registered provider.
For Australia in 2024, the national registry ANZARD counted 97 ART units, 104,721 treatment and lab-only cycles and 18,519 liveborn babies. For Australia and New Zealand combined, the live birth rate per initiated thaw cycle with the woman's own eggs was:
| Age | Live birth rate (2024) |
|---|---|
| Under 30 | 40.8% |
| 35 to 39 | 33.1% |
| 40 to 44 | 22.9% |
| All ages | 33.1% |
Selected age groups, Australia and New Zealand combined; not South Australian figures. Source: ANZARD 2024 annual report, NPESU UNSW (August 2026).
Ask each provider for its own results for women your age, and confirm with the clinic, SA Health and Medicare what you will pay. Rules and prices change.
Map to the Positive calls a second opinion good medical practice, not distrust. The book suggests one especially when:
How to do it, in the book's words: ask for copies of all your results and reports, book with another specialist, present the case neutrally without leading with the previous diagnosis, and see what they propose from scratch.
Second opinions are part of Chapter 31 of Map to the Positive, on choosing the right doctor, in Station IV. The chapter also gives the questions for a first appointment and the signs that it is time to change doctors. The same station covers the treatment ladder and IVF phase by phase.
Take 30 days. If it does not give you more clarity than everything you have read for free so far, ask for a refund and you get every cent back. We cannot promise you a pregnancy. We can promise you will not be guessing.
