Monash Ultrasound

What Monash Ultrasound does

Monash Ultrasound for Women (MUFW) is a Melbourne-based private prenatal diagnostic imaging practice operating six clinics across Victoria, Australia (Berwick, Box Hill, Clayton, Cremorne, Mulgrave, Sunshine), with headquarters in Cremorne. The practice is part of the Monash IVF Group network and delivers a tertiary-level obstetric and gynaecological imaging service spanning the full pregnancy continuum — dating ultrasound, first-trimester (11–14 weeks nuchal translucency), mid-trimester morphology, third-trimester growth scans, and third-trimester AFI/Doppler checks — alongside invasive diagnostic procedures (CVS, amniocentesis), the proprietary nest™ non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT), pre-eclampsia screening, genetic carrier screening (3-gene bulk-billed and expanded 400+ condition panels), and a gynaecological/fertility suite including pelvic ultrasound, deep infiltrating endometriosis scanning, follicle tracking, tubal patency, saline sonohysterography, and pre-IVF baseline scans.

The underlying technology stack is built around state-of-the-art GE ultrasound systems deployed across all clinic locations and the Tricefy mobile image-transfer platform for direct patient delivery of baby images. Service delivery is performed by a named specialist team of sonologists with subspecialty credentials in high-risk obstetrics and reproductive genetics (including Prof Simon Meagher, Dr Daniel Rolnik, Dr Monica Pahuja, Dr Annie Kroushev, Dr Paul Brooks, Dr Rebecca Zachariah, and Dr Carole-Anne Whigham), supported by sonographers and genetic counsellors. The clinical workflow is referral-gated — patients must present a doctor's referral to book — and is operated under a sales-led go-to-market motion anchored on medical professional referrals, supplemented by online appointment requests with a 24-hour response SLA and direct phone booking via a single 1300 number.

MUFW generates revenue on a fee-for-service basis with published out-of-pocket prices effective 1 July 2024 ranging from AUD $160 (private follicle tracking) to AUD $1,310 (tubal patency with Lipiodol), with Medicare rebates partially offsetting patient cost across most services and 3-gene carrier screening bulk-billed through Medicare. Customer segments are predominantly individual pregnant women (primary), with secondary demand from women planning pregnancy, gynaecological patients, and the referring-doctor network (GPs, obstetricians, specialists) that drives the referral funnel. The practice is privately held, Australian-domiciled, and operates under Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Privacy Principles compliance via the Monash IVF Group privacy framework.
