Target: Health Department
Region: Australia
Background (Preamble):
After having to undergo IVF treatment earlier this year my husband and I have gone through thousands and thousands of dollars trying to achieve our dream of a family.
The fees we have paid are totally ridiculous and are even more so ridiculous for those who cannot afford private health cover.
Did you know that some clinic's are:
Charging up to $ 9,000 up front ? ..
NOT using MEDICARE SAFETY NET items numbers on some procedures (eg frozen embryo transfers)
It is not only couples from the CITY who are suffering spare a thought for our COUNTRY counterparts who have to travel for hours, stay in motels for a few days or a week/s at a time to receive the treatment they need to fulfill their dreams ...
WE CAN DO THIS !
