What Is the Success Rate of IVF in Australia? Insights from Melbourne IVF
If you’re considering IVF, one of your first questions is likely: What are my chances of success? Understanding IVF success rates can help you set realistic expectations and make informed decisions about your fertility journey. Melbourne IVF, a leader in fertility treatment in Australia, is proud to consistently achieve outstanding results for patients of all ages.
How Are IVF Success Rates Measured?
IVF success rates are typically measured as the percentage of embryo transfers that result in a clinical pregnancy or live birth. However, it’s important to note that success rates can be reported in different ways—per embryo transfer, per cycle started, or per complete cycle—so always check what’s being measured when comparing clinics.
Melbourne IVF’s Outstanding Success Rates
Melbourne IVF’s clinical pregnancy rates consistently surpass the national average. According to the most recent data:
- Women under 35: 45% clinical pregnancy rate per embryo transfer
- Women aged 35–38: 37%
- Women aged 39–42: 26%
For women under 39, Melbourne IVF’s rates are well above the Australian median of 38%. These results are independently verified, giving patients confidence in the care they receive.
Age Matters
Age is the single most important factor influencing IVF success. For example, Melbourne IVF’s fresh day 5 blastocyst transfer pregnancy rates for women under 30 are as high as 57.3%, while for women aged 40–42, the rate is 25.2% Frozen embryo transfers also show strong results, with rates for women under 30 at 52.5% and for women aged 40–42 at 28.7%.
Why Are Melbourne IVF’s Results So Strong?

What Else Should You Consider?
Success rates are only one part of the story. Your individual chances will depend on factors such as your age, medical history, and the cause of infertility.
