If you live in rural, regional or remote Australia, fertility treatment options may be limited in your local area and may mean travelling long distances to your closest city, which can be costly.
You may be eligible for rebates to help offset the cost of travel, through government run patient travel subsidies available in all states and territories. These schemes can help you with the cost of accessing specialist medical services not available locally.
The eligibility criteria and amount of the rebates vary but generally all subsidies assist with covering travel expenses for public transport and accommodation costs at your destination for you and your eligible partner or support person.
For further information, to check your eligibility and to apply online please see the travel subsidies available to you in your state or territory.
