About us

Clinician-owned and led

Newlife IVF is fully owned and operated by a group of six leading Victorian fertility specialists and fertility experts. As clinicians, we navigate the fertility journey alongside our patients. It’s this clinical empathy, which lies at the heart of Newlife IVF – we put patients first, not profits.

Along with our collective experience and expertise, patients can expect an exceptional level of personalised care, tailored to their specific circumstances, preferences and lifestyle. In keeping with this ethos, we have carefully designed every aspect of our practice with our patients’ needs in mind. This includes our brand-new, purpose-built fertility centre in Box Hill where patients can undergo all their investigations and treatment in the one place. Our co-located services include a fully accredited, state-of-the-art laboratory, day surgery (operated by Epworth Eastern), specialist nursing and counselling services, medication dispensing, ultrasound, pathology, and a  semen analysis facility employing the World Health Organisation’s 6th edition standards.

For the convenience of our patients, our fertility specialists will continue to consult at all their usual locations. We have also teamed up with leading providers in pathology and radiology, so patients can have their investigations performed closer to home, if preferred. The Ekera medical complex, in which we are based, also has its own dedicated carpark, café and medical centre. With Epworth Eastern and Box Hill Hospitals located next door, patients also have ready access to a wide range of other medical services.

Best scientific practice

Newlife IVF’s commitment to best scientific practice is supported by the quality of our in-house technical expertise. Our brand-new, state-of-the-art laboratory is led by our Scientific Director, Dr Tiki Osianlis, and incorporates the very latest scientific tools and techniques.

For example, our semen analysis facility meets the World Health Organisation’s 6th edition standards, reflecting the latest recommended criteria for testing. We are also one of only a few laboratories in Victoria able to offer DNA fragmentation testing.

For IVF, we use the EmbryoScope time-lapse system, sequential media and EmbryoGlue as standard to aid the development, selection and transfer of embryos. We also routinely use egg spindle visualisation for all ICSI procedures – employing a specially designed, high-powered microscope and polarised light to help us select the eggs with the best potential for fertilisation.

An on-site day surgery owned and operated by Epworth Eastern also ensures that ‘precious cargo’ moves quickly and seamlessly from bedside to lab following egg collection and other procedures.

Further, we have partnered with CooperGenomics, the world’s premier provider of reproductive genetic testing. This partnership provides our patients with access to genetic tests designed to increase the chance of IVF success, including chromosomal screening and testing for single gene disorders. 

By employing these techniques, we aim to optimise every treatment cycle, giving our patients a better chance of achieving a successful pregnancy sooner.

Genuine care and support

Across every aspect of our practice, you’ll experience a fertility service designed around your needs, where the sharing of expert knowledge is considered just as important as your convenience and comfort.

An individual or couple’s fertility is incredibly nuanced – there is no one-size-fits-all approach. At Newlife IVF, we work hard to understand the underlying cause of your fertility issues before tailoring your care accordingly. In some cases, this may mean that IVF is not necessary – other treatment may suffice. In other cases, specialised IVF – involving ICSI or IMSI – may be recommended to enhance your chances of conceiving.

No matter which path you travel, the team at Newlife IVF will always be open and honest with you, and will manage your care with warmth and kindness. This ethos extends across our entire team, from our specialists, nurses and lab technicians to our management and administrative team. Patients are also supported by our dedicated team of specially trained counsellors who offer 1:1 consultations, as well as peer group sessions, so you can connect with others undergoing a similar journey.
