Introduction to assisted reproductive technology

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is a specialist service used to treat a range of causes of infertility. ART includes intrauterine insemination (IUI), in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

See the Victorian Assisted Reproductive Treatment Authority for patient and health professional resources on fertility treatments, including the use of donor gametes (oocytes or sperm), surrogacy and fertility preservation. Accredited units in Australia and New Zealand are listed at the Fertility Society website.
