The Victorian government says it is working hard to resume in vitro fertilisation procedures in hospitals soon, after Prime Minister Scott Morrison said pausing IVF should be a last resort.Those numbers are expected to continue increasing for weeks.People can still complete their cycles if they began treatment before January 6, and those who require urgent treatment because their eggs may be rendered unviable due to imminent health treatment can also still access IVF.
“I want to assure everyone who’s impacted by this that we’re working as hard as we can to get day procedures back up and running.” State Opposition Leader Matthew Guy called on the government to urgently resume IVF procedures and said the halt was indicative of the government’s lack of preparation for a wave of COVID-19 hospital admissions.
The Premier said some health services were cancelled because authorities planned for the upper limit of forecast pressure on hospital capacity. He said these decisions could be revisited if the real level of demand did not turn out to be as high as feared, allowing some elective surgery to resume more quickly than envisaged.IVF patient Kim Stolke wants the ban reversed.
Number One Fertility medical director Dr Lynn Burmeister said for many, 90 days was the difference between having a baby or not.

Everyone whose electives have been postponed is suffering right now. My leg amputation was classed as elective surgery. Do you think your IVF is more important? Stop this middle class nonsense so typical of The Guardian.

‘Absolutely essential’: Urgent IVF callsVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews is facing desperate calls to reverse a deeply unpopular decision on IVF procedures. Same can be said for many ‘elective’ procedures in VIC. Surgeons/day hospitals stood down, despite being unsuitable to draw upon to help with covid. ‘Elective’ is everything other than ‘emergencies.’ Includes IVF, joint operations, hand operations etc., and colonoscopies etc. I don't recall what special abilities Dumbo had, but if anyone is likely to have them, it's this guy.
