Fees
Although surrogacy arrangements have legal standing in the ACT, the
Commonwealth government which administers the Medicare scheme specifically
prohibits the payment of Medicare benefits for IVF services carried out in
conjunction with surrogacy. Consequently IVF surrogacy involves considerable
out-of-pocket expenses. You must be prepared for costs in the range of $10,000
to $20,000 depending on location.
Please refer to the Surrogacy
fee booklet for a more detailed explanation of the fees involved
