A second Australian IVF mix-up shakes clinic and industry
- In 2023, a woman in Brisbane gave birth after Monash IVF staff accidentally transferred an embryo that was not genetically hers.
- This error, publicly revealed in April 2023, led to an independent review by barrister Fiona McLeod, whose investigation has now been expanded.
- A second embryo-related error occurred on June 5, 2023, at Monash IVF's Clayton clinic, where a patient's own embryo was incorrectly transferred.
- Monash IVF has apologized to the affected couples, alerted regulators, pledged to improve verification processes beyond existing electronic systems, and announced ongoing internal investigations.
- These incidents caused Monash IVF's share price to drop from $1.08 to as low as 69 cents in April, signaling reputational and financial impacts, with further updates expected as reviews conclude.
