Fertility care shaped by personal experience
Thrive was born from our own experiences with infertility. We know it can mean uncertainty, hard decisions and a real emotional and financial toll. We built the clinic we would have wanted: clear information, honest conversations, evidence-based treatment and no false promises.

IVF Treatment
IVF treatment involves fertilising eggs with sperm in a laboratory before transferring an embryo to the uterus. Thrive provides IVF and ICSI treatment supported by our specialist team and purpose-built laboratory in Epping.
Fertility Testing for women and men
Including semen analysis and male fertility assessment. Fertility testing can help identify factors that may be affecting your ability to conceive and guide the next steps in your care. Thrive provides fertility assessment and testing for both women and men.
Egg Freezing
Some women aren’t ready to start a family during their peak fertility. Others are unable to, due to medical conditions or ongoing treatment. Egg freezing gives you the opportunity to try to conceive at a later time.
Preimplantation Genetic Testing
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is a test performed on a small sample of cells taken from the embryo to screen for chromosomal variations and specific known genetic conditions before embryo transfer.

Not sure where to start?
Your next step will depend on where you are in your fertility journey. Whether you are trying to conceive now or thinking about your future fertility, Thrive can help you understand the options available.
Trying to conceive?
If you’ve been trying for a while, or something about your cycle or history is worrying you, a fertility assessment can show what may be making conception harder and what your options are. Having tests doesn’t commit you to treatment.
Planning for the future?
If children aren’t on the cards yet, freezing eggs (or sperm) is one way to keep your options open. We’ll talk you through what’s involved, what it costs and whether it’s likely to help in your situation.
Fertility care in Epping, Melbourne's north
Thrive is on Level 2 of the Northern Private Hospital, 12 Osburn Place, Epping, with on-site parking. Most of our patients come from Epping and the suburbs around it: Mill Park, South Morang, Mernda and Doreen along Plenty Road, Bundoora and Reservoir to the south, and Craigieburn across the Hume.

Understand your fertility treatment costs
Fertility treatment is a significant financial decision, and we think you should know what it costs before you commit, not after. Our fees page sets out treatment fees, estimated out-of-pocket costs after Medicare, and what’s included, so you can compare us properly with other clinics.
