Why you should consider Genetic Carrier Screening
What's the cost?
Monash IVF's Genetic Carrier Screening Test costs vary depending on whether you are ordering one or two saliva tests.
The fee includes:
- The test itself.
- Expert analysis of your sample by leading genetic scientists.
- Results interpretation and support from our genetic counselling team.
It is recommended that couples (or patients using a known donor) buy two tests at the discounted rate of $1,250 rather than two individual tests.

Ideal for those wanting a test just for themselves, or using international or clinic-recruited donor gametes.
It is recommended that this test be done pre-pregnancy, so that there is time to screen a reproductive partner in the future.

Ideal for couples, and for those using a known donor.
70% of people carry at least one genetic condition and end up getting their partner screened. As such, it is recommended that couples buy two tests at the discounted rate of $1250 rather than two individual ones.

"Information on carrier screening should be offered to all people planning a pregnancy or in the first trimester of pregnancy."
