Understanding IVF success rates is an important part of making informed decisions about your care. As a Fertility Specialist at Genea Sydney CBD, Dr Danielle Robson is committed to transparency when it comes to treatment outcomes.

The results below are published via YourIVFSuccess, an independent, government-funded platform that reports verified IVF outcome data for accredited clinics in Australia that consent to public reporting. All Genea clinics participate.

Across every measure and reporting period shown, Genea Sydney CBD performs above the Australian national average.

Why there are multiple measures

IVF involves several stages rather than a single step. From egg collection to embryo transfer and pregnancy, each phase is measured in a different way. The five measures below cover different reporting periods and together provide a comprehensive view of Genea Sydney CBD’s outcomes — from earlier cycles to the most recently published results.

The measures

Measure 1

Births per complete egg retrieval (including the later transfer of resulting embryos)

One egg collection can result in multiple embryos, which may be transferred over several months. This measure represents the chance of a live birth from all fresh and frozen embryo transfers generated from a single complete egg retrieval cycle, providing a full picture of what one retrieval can achieve.

Age Group Genea Sydney CBD National
<35 years 49.9% 46.4%
35-42 years 27.1% 23.6%
Egg retrieval year: 2022 | Embryo transfer years: 2022 & 2023

Measure 2

Births per first retrieval cycle (including the later transfer of resulting embryos) for women having their first ever egg retrieval

If you're beginning your IVF journey, this measure is particularly relevant. It represents the chance of achieving a live birth from all fresh and frozen embryo transfers associated with a patient’s first egg retrieval cycle. Because it includes only individuals undergoing their first retrieval, it ensures outcomes are assessed on a consistent and comparable basis.

Age Group Genea Sydney CBD National
<35 years 55.4% 52.3%
35-42 years 37.8% 30.6%
Egg retrieval year: 2022 | Embryo transfer years: 2022 & 2023

Measure 3

Births per treatment attempt

This measure reflects the likelihood of achieving a live birth with each separate embryo transfer attempt and is derived from more recent data than Measures 1 and 2.

Age Group Genea Sydney CBD National
<35 years 43.8% 34.5%
35-38 years 33.3% 28.1%
39-42 years 23.6% 16.7%
Treatment year: 2023

Measure 4

Births per embryo transfer

This measure shows the chance of a live birth from each fresh or frozen embryo transfer performed within a single year at Genea Sydney CBD.

Age Group Genea Sydney CBD National
<35 years 47.0% 36.9%
35-38 years 36.7% 31.1%
39-42 years 27.8% 19.3%
Treatment year: 2023

Measure 5

Clinical pregnancies per treatment

A clinical pregnancy confirmed by ultrasound is an important early milestone in any fertility journey. This measure presents the most recently published results and shows the chance of reaching that milestone with each individual treatment attempt where an embryo transfer was intended.

Age Group Genea Sydney CBD National
<35 years 54.0% 41.4%
35-38 years 43.3% 35.3%
39-42 years 28.7% 24.8%

No two journeys are the same

Success rates can provide helpful insight, but they are only part of the picture. Every person’s fertility journey is shaped by factors such as age, diagnosis and medical history, which means outcomes will always be individual.

Dr Danielle Robson takes the time to understand your unique circumstances, ensuring your care is personalised and thoughtfully tailored to give you the best possible chance of success.

FAQs

What are Dr Danielle Robson’s IVF success rates?

Dr Danielle Robson practices at Genea Sydney CBD, where success rates are independently reported through YourIVFSuccess, the government-funded platform that publishes verified outcome data for all accredited Australian IVF clinics. Across every measure and reporting period, Genea Sydney CBD performs above the national average.

For first-time IVF patients under 35, the live birth rate at Genea Sydney CBD per first retrieval cycle is 55.4%, compared to 52.3% nationally. For patients aged 35 to 42, that figure is 37.8% versus 30.6% nationally.

You can view the full breakdown by age group and measure on this page.

How does age affect IVF success rates?

Age is one of the most significant factors influencing IVF outcomes. At Genea Sydney CBD, patients under 35 achieve a live birth rate of 55.4% per first retrieval cycle, compared to 37.8% for patients aged 35 to 42.

Success rates decline with age due to changes in egg quality and quantity. During your consultation, Dr Danielle Robson will explain how your age and individual circumstances may influence your personal likelihood of success.

What is the IVF success rate on the first attempt?

The IVF success rate on the first attempt is measured as births per first retrieval cycle (Measure 2). This reflects the chance of achieving a live birth from all fresh and frozen embryo transfers generated from your first-ever egg collection.

At Genea Sydney CBD, the independently reported live birth rate per first retrieval cycle is:

  • 4% for patients under 35 (compared to 52.3% nationally)

  • 8% for patients aged 35–42 (compared to 30.6% nationally)

These figures are drawn from YourIVFSuccess data (egg retrieval year 2022, embryo transfer years 2022–2023) and provide a clear benchmark for patients beginning their IVF journey.

Dr Danielle Robson will discuss how your age and personal medical history may influence your individual outcome.

How do Sydney IVF success rates compare to the national average?

Genea Sydney CBD’s success rates are above the Australian national average across all five YourIVFSuccess measures and all reported age groups.

For example, in 2023, births per treatment attempt (Measure 3) were 43.8% at Genea Sydney CBD for patients under 35, compared to 34.5% nationally.

How should I compare IVF clinic success rates in Sydney?

Not all success rate figures are directly comparable. Results can vary depending on the patient population a clinic treats, the measures being reported, and the reporting period.

When comparing IVF clinic success rates in Sydney, look for clinics that publish all five standardised YourIVFSuccess measures and report data across age groups. This provides the most complete and transparent picture.

What’s the difference between a specialist’s success rate and a clinic’s success rate?

Individual fertility specialist success rates are not published separately in Australia. Outcomes are reported at the clinic level through YourIVFSuccess, meaning results reflect overall clinic performance.

Dr Danielle Robson practises at Genea Sydney CBD, and the results shown on this page represent the clinic where your treatment would take place.

Why are there multiple IVF success rate measures, and which one matters most?

IVF involves several stages, which is why multiple measures are reported. No single number tells the whole story.

If you’re new to IVF, Measure 2 (births per first retrieval cycle for first-time patients) is often the most relevant. For a broader understanding of performance over time, reviewing Measures 1 and 2 together provides a strong basis for comparison.

Genea has developed a detailed guide to understanding the YourIVFSuccess measures and how to interpret the data. Read it here.

Can IVF success rates predict my personal outcome?

Published success rates are a helpful starting point, but individual outcomes vary. Factors such as age, ovarian reserve, diagnosis and medical history all influence results.

Dr Danielle Robson takes the time to review your complete history during consultation, providing a personalised understanding of what to expect beyond what aggregate IVF success rates by age can show.
