On Thursday, March 6th the Ministry of Health released an update on the publicly funded IVF Program including the start date and eligibility requirements.
The publicly funded IVF program will provide access to one-time funding, up to $19,000, for eligible BC residents. Applications open July 2, 2025.
Please visit Publicly Funded In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Program - Province of British Columbia for more information such as eligibility requirements and the application process.

We know that everyone will be anxious to learn more about the waitlist. Unfortunately, we have no further information from the BC Ministry of Health about how they want us to order patients when submitting their applications. The BC Ministry of Health has stated that they are developing a process for us to follow, and we will update when we know more.
Once we have more information from the Ministry of Health, we will be reaching out to those who qualify with next steps.
We are very pleased with this announcement and understand that this funding and information is very important to you. We will update you as soon as we know more.
