Story angles + headline data

If you're writing about Australian IVF, fertility treatment or assisted reproduction, here's the headline-ready data points pulled from this CSV:

• Sector concentration: Two ASX-listed providers (Monash IVF Group, formerly Virtus Health before its 2022 privatisation) account for the majority of Australian IVF cycles. Independent private clinics + public hospital fertility units make up the balance.
• ANZARD reporting: The Australia + NZ Assisted Reproductive Database is the authoritative national data registry. Virtually all reputable Australian IVF clinics report annually. Non-reporting is the strongest red flag.
• Cycle cost: $9,000–$12,000 out-of-pocket per IVF cycle in Australia after Medicare rebate (around $5,500 rebate per stim cycle). Cost varies by clinic + add-ons (ICSI, PGT-A genetic screening, donor egg/sperm). Most clinics don\'t publish flat-rate prices since per-patient cost is highly variable.
• Live-birth rate by age: Per ANZARD national data, live-birth rate per initiated cycle is ~30% for patients under 35, ~22% age 35-37, ~14% age 38-40, ~4% age 41-42, under 2% age 43+. Individual clinic rates vary; ANZARD publishes age-stratified results annually.
• PGT-A controversy: Pre-implantation genetic testing for aneuploidy is offered widely but evidence for live-birth improvement is mixed (especially for patients under 38). Most clinics offer; some advocate strongly, others recommend selectively.
• Bulk-billing: Around 30% of Australian IVF clinics offer bulk-billed initial consultation. Full IVF cycle bulk-billing exists at a small number of "low-cost IVF" clinics; outcomes are comparable to standard pricing per emerging analyses.
• Egg freezing growth: Australian elective oocyte cryopreservation cycles have grown ~25%/year since 2018. Typical patient: 32-38 years, no current partner or career-focused, cost $8,000-$12,000 per cycle.
