Rule-Based Scenarios
Scenario 1: an IVF cycle with TasIVF
A Tasmanian undergoing an IVF cycle with TasIVF can claim up to $2,000 toward their out-of-pocket costs.
Scenario 2: fertility preservation
Someone seeking treatment for fertility preservation reasons is also covered, as the rebate extends to those cycles.
Scenario 3: treatment outside Tasmania
Treatment that is not provided in Tasmania by TasIVF or Fertility Tasmania falls outside the scheme; check the program conditions first.
Common Mistakes
- Assuming it replaces the Medicare rebate. It does not — the Tasmanian rebate is in addition to any Commonwealth Medicare benefits.
- Leaving the claim too late. The scheme runs until 30 June 2028 or until the $5 million is exhausted, so claim once your treatment is underway.
- Using an interstate provider. Eligible treatment must be provided in Tasmania by TasIVF or Fertility Tasmania.
