Scientists

Our dynamic team of scientists are highly skilled in embryology, genetics and cryopreservation. They are dedicated to delivering the best possible outcomes for you and are always innovating and improving processes to do so.

Our scientists take their role in your fertility journey very seriously. They handle your eggs, sperm and embryos with the utmost care. Although they often work behind the scenes, you can rest assured that during each stage of your fertility journey our world-class science team are behind you.

At Repromed, our scientists have extensive experience and are highly engaged in research. We have the highest number of laboratory staff with PhDs in the country and there are more PhD trained scientists at Repromed than in all other South Australian clinics combined.

Repromed has the most active and one of the most successful research and development programs in South Australia. Contributions made to the industry about fertility causes and treatments have had very real positive impacts for our patients such as:

  • Development of embryo glue culture media, giving you a higher chance of a successful pregnancy outcome
  • Development of the male fertility pill ‘Menevit’ to assist in the creation of healthy sperm

Nursing Team

Our experienced nurses are here to guide you through your fertility journey. They are with you every step of the way, holding your hand and ensuring that your experience is as positive and stress-free as possible.

Our nursing team are known for their warmth, empathy and communication. They understand the ups and downs of your fertility journey. They will always be there to help you navigate any bumps in the road and to celebrate good news with you.

Repromed nurses are highly trained with experience in women’s health, midwifery, day surgery and recovery as well as delivering exceptional care to our patients. Our nurses provide information, education and support to patients before, during and after fertility treatment.

From your very first appointment, our nurses will stand by your side and support you through each stage of treatment. They will become your go-to person for information about your next appointment, medications and what your medical results mean.

Throughout your entire fertility journey, our nurses will be in touch with you, so when you receive results, it won’t be a stranger on the other end of the phone – it will be one of our nurses who knows you and is invested in your journey.

Our nurses work closely with our Fertility Doctors to ensure every stage of your journey runs smoothly. They will be in contact with your Fertility Doctor throughout your treatment, so they will always have the most up-to-date information about your treatment. This means that if you have any questions, they can answer them.

Our nursing team will also provide you with education about your treatment. They understand how overwhelming and confusing fertility treatment can be. They take the time to explain each stage of your fertility treatment to you. This includes how to administer your medication, how to track your cycle, what your latest results mean and what your next steps are.

Our nurses are active in their professional body, The Fertility Nurses of Australasia. This group is part of The Fertility Society of Australia, which provides an important role in education, standards, policy writing and research.
