Financial Support Form

The AJFN provides financial assistance to Jewish Australians living in Australia and facing challenges in achieving a healthy pregnancy. If granted, the financial assistance will contribute towards a portion of the out-of-pocket treatment costs (i.e. after Medicare rebates). Please note each case is considered individually, based on treatment costs and the applicant’s financial situation. Grants generally range between $2,500 and $3,500. Exceptional circumstances may result in a more significant grant.

Important information to consider before applying for financial assistance:

A consultation with a fertility specialist is required and a letter explaining the official diagnosis including a treatment plan/recommendation needs to be supplied.
Funding is allocated by the AJFN Allocations Committee based on several factors that take into account the history, diagnosis, age and income of the couple applying, to be answered in an application to follow.
Applications are kept strictly confidential.
Applications must be received before the start of the cycle and take between 1-2 weeks to process.
Once approved, you will be notified and payment will be transferred directly to the clinic (no cash will ever be transferred to the couple directly).
The Allocations Committee carefully assesses each application based on the applicant’s financial circumstances and the number of times funding has been requested and granted (note they have no names on the application so it is an unbiased process). This information is then matched against the charity’s granting guidelines to ensure that the amount granted is consistent for couples of similar circumstances.

If you have any questions or would like further information please contact [email protected] or call 02 7906 8366.
