Not all fertility clinics are built the same
The way a fertility clinic is structured doesn’t just affect how it operates, it shapes how decisions are made, how personalised your treatment is, and ultimately, how your experience feels.
When you’re making decisions about your future family, it’s worth understanding who is truly guiding your care.

Your fertility specialist leads your care directly.
Business-influenced decisions
Decisions may be shaped by corporate structures.
Tailored treatment plans

Shared care teams
You may see multiple clinicians.

Why costs can differ between clinics
Unlike corporate-owned clinics, No.1 Fertility is not structured around external shareholders or investor boards. This means resources are directed back into patient care, not distributed through corporate profit layers.
This structure can influence overall treatment costs and transparency, allowing for a more direct and patient-focused approach to care.

If IVF Hasn’t Worked, What Should You Do Next?
By Dr Lynn Burmeister
If IVF treatment hasn’t worked, I know how heavy that can feel.
Most of the patients who come to see me have already been through in vitro fertilisation. They’ve followed the process carefully. They’ve done everything they were asked to do. And still, they find themselves asking the same question.

OUR SUCCESS RATES
Success rates matter. But understanding what they actually mean matters more.
If you are comparing clinics, it is important to understand what sits behind the numbers.
