Ontario Announces $150M Expansion for Fertility Services

The new funding aims to triple the number of families receiving government-funded IVF and introduce a tax credit for treatment expenses.

Ontario will invest $150 million over the next two years to expand access to fertility services.
The expansion will increase the number of clinics and reduce wait times for treatments like IVF and intra-uterine insemination.
Currently, 5,500 people receive funding for IVF annually; the new initiative will triple this number.
A proposed tax credit will cover up to 25% of eligible fertility treatment expenses, with a cap of $5,000 per year.
The Ontario Fertility Program has supported over 107,000 Ontarians since its inception in 2015.
