Over the past year, we have undertaken a series of strategic initiatives designed to enhance every aspect of the patient journey, ensuring that our services are not only clinically effective but also empathetic, responsive, and patient-centered.
The key initiatives implemented over the last 12 months have contributed to our Net Promoter Score of 71.5%, which is an all time high.
1. Streamlined Treatment Plan Tracking

2. Launch of the Online Registration Portal
To simplify and modernize the registration process, an online registration portal has been implemented making it easier and quicker for patients to access care.
3. Enhanced Medicare Billing Transparency
Recognizing the importance of financial transparency, an automated notification system for Medicare billing has been introduced. Patients now receive real-time updates when a Medicare claim is submitted along with a lodgement report.
This helps patients understand when they can expect to receive their rebate, any credits they may have with us, and when they can book their next cycle.
4. Funding Support Programs

We are conscious of supporting all our patients when accessing fertility treatment based on their circumstances. We have available a number of payment options and arrangements including interest-free programs, out-ofpocket payments and processes to utilise superannuation subject to certain criteria.
We aim to empower our patients to consider their financial implications, making their journey less stressful and manageable.

Looking Forward
