Can I go to my GP for a fertility test?

Last reviewed: 2026-05-27 · how we answer

Short answer

Whether you're a candidate for a specific fertility and IVF procedure is a clinical judgement that requires an in-person assessment.

NZ-specific context

  • Most fertility and IVF clinics offer an initial consultation that includes eligibility assessment.
  • Common factors: age, baseline health, medications, the specific procedure you're considering, and your goals.
  • Funding is mixed: some indications qualify for public-system referral via Te Whatu Ora or ACC; cosmetic / elective indications are private-pay. Confirm with the clinic.

Who should you check with
