flag Rural NSW women face long, costly trips for IVF due to lack of local clinics.

flag Women in New South Wales’s Central West face major hurdles accessing IVF, with only one clinic offering full procedures, forcing patients like Dubbo resident Skye Stephenson to make repeated five- to six-hour trips to Sydney for critical treatments. flag Limited local options, last-minute scheduling, and the need for time off work, accommodation, and childcare add emotional and financial strain. flag While telehealth and initial assessments are available locally, full IVF care remains out of reach regionally. flag Government support like a $2,000 rebate and travel assistance helps but doesn’t eliminate the burden, leaving many rural families with a difficult, costly path to parenthood.
