Medicare rebates and compensation for surrogates will be among issues examined as part of a Victorian review into the state's IVF laws.
The 12-month review, announced earlier this year following complaints about providers, will also look at the cost and effectiveness of IVF, the upselling of complementary therapies or "add-ons" and a 10-women limit imposed on sperm donors.
"The efficacy of some treatments has been challenged, and the appropriateness of providing treatment to women aged over 40 despite a low probability of success has been called into question," a consultation paper published on Thursday said.
