Coastal IVF

What Coastal IVF does

Coastal IVF is a privately-owned, integrated women's healthcare practice headquartered in Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. Founded in 1996 by fertility specialist Dr Paul Stokes and embryologist Peter Jackson as the first fertility clinic on the Sunshine Coast, the practice operates a specialist-led, single-site model delivering fertility, obstetric and gynaecological services under one roof. Patient segments include individuals and couples experiencing infertility, expectant mothers seeking private obstetric care with named-specialist continuity, and women requiring surgical or medical management of gynaecological conditions.

The clinic's core technology stack combines a full-service assisted reproduction laboratory (advanced embryo culture, vitrification of eggs/sperm/embryos, and preimplantation genetic testing) with a differentiated minimally invasive surgical platform anchored by the da Vinci Xi robotic surgery system and 2mm/3mm micro-laparoscopy — capabilities rare in Australia. Specimen safety is managed via the RI Witness barcoded tracking system with double-witnessing protocols, and the IVF laboratory operates as a controlled cleanroom with continuous monitoring, 24/7 alarms and redundant power. Every obstetric appointment includes 3D/4D ultrasound, and outcomes are reported to ANZICA via YourIVFSuccess.com.au.

Coastal IVF earns revenue primarily on a fee-for-service basis across three streams: fertility/IVF treatments (inclusive cycle fees with an IVF Guarantee reducing the second-cycle fee if the first does not achieve clinical pregnancy), obstetric services (antenatal visits plus a pregnancy management fee, with no-gap arrangements with several private health funds), and gynaecological surgery (robotic, micro-laparoscopic, and colposcopy procedures). Distribution is direct to patients via the website, phone bookings and GP/specialist referrals (the latter required for Medicare rebates); egg collections are performed at the adjacent Sunshine Coast Day Surgery and obstetric deliveries occur at Buderim Private Hospital, with shared antenatal care alongside Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

Core offering

Coastal IVF is a specialist-led fertility, obstetrics and gynaecology clinic on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, offering IVF, ICSI, IUI, ovulation induction, egg/sperm/embryo freezing, donor programmes, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), specialist pregnancy care and delivery, and advanced minimally invasive gynaecological surgery including robotic (da Vinci Xi) and micro-laparoscopic procedures. The clinic provides a full continuum of women's health services — from fertility assessment and treatment through pregnancy, birth and postnatal follow-up — under a single private practice founded in 1996.

Product overview

Coastal IVF offers a comprehensive, integrated women's health platform combining fertility treatments, obstetric care, and gynaecological services. The core offering includes IVF and related assisted reproductive technologies (ICSI, IUI, PGT) as a unified fertility treatment program, complemented by pregnancy care services and advanced gynaecological surgical procedures. The clinic provides a complete spectrum of care from fertility assessment through to birth and postnatal follow-up, supported by on-site diagnostic services including ultrasound, colposcopy, and the full range of fertility laboratory services. The product portfolio is structured as a single integrated care model rather than discrete modular offerings, with the fertility program (IVF, ICSI, donor programs, egg freezing, PGT) serving as the core service, supported by obstetric services for ongoing pregnancy management and gynaecological services including robotic surgery and micro-laparoscopy for surgical interventions.

Products and services

• In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) IVF stimulates the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, which are collected and fertilised in a lab. Embryos are then transferred to the uterus to achieve pregnancy. Used when other options have not worked or in cases of blocked tubes or male infertility.
• Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) ICSI involves injecting a single sperm directly into an egg to aid fertilisation. Useful for low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or surgically retrieved sperm.
• Ovulation Induction and IUI OI uses medication to stimulate egg release, while IUI places prepared sperm directly into the uterus at the most fertile time. Recommended for ovulation issues, mild male infertility, or unexplained fertility challenges.
• Fertility Preservation (Egg Freezing) Egg freezing allows women to preserve eggs at a younger age for future use, offering flexibility and peace of mind for personal, professional, or medical reasons.
• Donor Programs (Egg, Sperm and Embryo) Donor programs help individuals and couples build families through sperm, egg, and embryo donation with personalised care, comprehensive screening, and compassionate support.
• Pre-Implantation Genetic Testing (PGT) PGT screens embryos during IVF to detect genetic or chromosomal conditions before transfer, helping reduce miscarriage risk and offering greater reassurance for patients with genetic concerns.
• Pregnancy Care Specialist obstetric care from conception to birth, with continuity of care provided by experienced obstetricians and midwifery team. Includes labour and delivery at Buderim Private Hospital.
• General Gynaecology Comprehensive gynaecological care covering routine women's health to advanced surgical treatment, including cervical screening, contraception, menopause support, and menstrual disorder management.
• Robotic Assisted Surgery Advanced minimally invasive surgery using the da Vinci Xi robotic system for gynaecological procedures including endometriosis surgery, hysterectomy, myomectomy, and ovarian cystectomy.
• Micro-Laparoscopy Ultra-minimally invasive keyhole surgery using 2mm and 3mm instruments designed to reduce pain, minimise scars, and accelerate recovery.
• Colposcopy Services Outpatient colposcopy service for assessment and management of abnormal cervical screening results, including LLETZ treatment and cryotherapy for precancerous cervical changes.
• Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) Vitrified embryos are stored and transferred in a subsequent cycle, allowing for optimal timing and the possibility of multiple pregnancy attempts from a single egg collection.
• Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment Intrauterine PRP treatment used as part of fertility treatment protocols.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Monash IVF Group: One of Australia's largest fertility and IVF operators with a national network of clinics. Directly comparable core service (IVF, ICSI, fertility preservation) but operates at much greater scale and offers far broader geographic reach than Coastal IVF's single Sunshine Coast location.
• Virtus Health (now Caprea Healthcare): Major Australian fertility clinic network with multiple brands (e.g., Queensland Fertility Group) and a national footprint. Competes with Coastal IVF on the core IVF/ART offering and has significantly greater scale and procurement leverage.

Direct peers

• Genea: Australian fertility clinic group offering IVF, ICSI, PGT, and donor programmes. Directly comparable service set and boutique technology positioning (Genea Biomedx), though operating across multiple sites nationally.
• Queensland Fertility Group (QFG): Part of Virtus Health, QFG is a Queensland-based fertility provider with multiple Brisbane sites. The most direct local competitor to Coastal IVF, offering the same IVF/ART core services within the same state catchment.
• City Fertility: National fertility clinic network offering IVF, ICSI, IUI, fertility preservation, and donor programmes. Compares to Coastal IVF on core service offering and boutique, multi-specialist clinic model, though with greater geographic spread.
• The Fertility Centre (TFC): Australian fertility clinic offering low-cost IVF cycles with a streamlined model. Comparable on core IVF/ART services but differentiates on price rather than boutique, specialist-led continuity that defines Coastal IVF.
• Fertility First: Sydney-based boutique fertility clinic offering IVF, ICSI, and fertility preservation. Shares Coastal IVF's specialist-led, boutique positioning rather than large corporate-chain feel, with a comparable focus on personalised care.
• Hollywood Fertility Centre (HFC): Perth-based fertility clinic. Comparable specialist-led fertility and ART services, with overlapping technology offerings (IVF, ICSI, PGT), though operating in a different Australian region.

Regional players

• Adelaide Fertility Centre: Regional Australian fertility clinic offering IVF, ICSI, and reproductive services. Comparable as a regionally-anchored fertility specialist practice but does not directly compete with Coastal IVF in Queensland.
• Pivet Medical Centre: Perth-based fertility clinic with strong research credentials and full IVF/ART service offering. Comparable regional fertility specialist model, though geographically separate from Coastal IVF's Sunshine Coast catchment.
