** About the role**

The Women’s is excited to introduce a Public Fertility Services (PFS) for Victorians. Building on decades of leadership in fertility care, in 2022 we successfully secured funding to establish Australia’s first fully PFS designed to provide comprehensive person-centered fertility care to eligible patients. The focus of the new PFS is to offer high-quality, safe and value-based care that is inclusive and culturally safe and improves access to fertility services for those who are currently underserviced by the private sector. This includes single people, Aboriginal Victorians, LGBTIQ+ Victorians, people with a disability, people from culturally and linguistically diverse communities, people from regional / rural communities and people living on low incomes.
