Ontario Invests $250 Million to Expand Fertility Treatment Access

25 fertility clinics, including 6 new facilities, to help triple the number of families benefiting from publicly funded IVF services

TORONTO — The Ontario government is expanding access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments through a historic $250 million investment under the Ontario Fertility Program (OFP). This expansion will fund 25 new and upgraded fertility clinics — including six new IVF clinics — helping more families across the province access fertility services faster and closer to home.

Deputy Premier and Minister of Health Sylvia Jones announced the investment at Pollin Fertility Clinic in Toronto, a newly accredited facility that blends modern technology, multidisciplinary care, and patient-focused design to deliver world-class reproductive health services.

“Our government is helping more people start and grow their families by increasing access and shortening wait times for fertility services,” said Minister Jones. “This investment will help triple the number of families benefiting from publicly funded fertility supports — further protecting public services.”

The investment will add approximately 5,000 new IVF cycles in the first year alone, significantly reducing wait times. Toronto’s expanded network of publicly funded fertility clinics will include:

• Pollin Fertility Clinic (new)

• Twig Fertility (new)

• Tripod Fertility (new)

• TRIO Fertility

• Generation Fertility Toronto West (formerly ReproMed Fertility)

• CReATe Fertility Centre

• Mount Sinai Fertility

• Hannam Fertility Centre

Collectively, these Toronto-area clinics are expected to deliver around 2,250 IVF cycles annually as part of the broader expansion.

“We are honoured to be included in Ontario’s Fertility Program and thank Premier Ford and Minister Jones for their leadership,” said Melody Adhami, CEO of Pollin Fertility. “This partnership will allow us to expand access and help more families achieve their dream of having children, with an unwavering commitment to excellence and patient-centred care.”

The investment is part of Ontario’s Your Health: A Plan for Connected and Convenient Care, ensuring that fertility services are accessible, equitable, and held to consistent quality standards. By 2028, all publicly funded fertility clinics will be required to be accredited by Accreditation Canada’s Qmentum Global program, strengthening clinical safety and quality assurance across the province.

There is no role more special than being a parent.

The OFP expansion now supports 54 clinics province-wide and builds upon the Ontario Fertility Treatment Tax Credit, which will launch in the 2025 tax year, offering families up to $5,000 annually to help cover fertility-related expenses including IVF, fertility medications, diagnostic testing, and travel.

Local representatives welcomed the announcement as a significant step forward for families.

“By expanding access to publicly funded fertility treatments and supporting clinics like Pollin Fertility right here in our community, our government is helping more people start and grow their families,” said Michelle Cooper, MPP for Eglinton–Lawrence.

“For many individuals and couples, this brings renewed hope that building their family will be possible without the added burden of long waits or financial strain,” added Briana Maguire, Board Member of Conceivable Dreams.

Since its inception in 2015, the Ontario Fertility Program has funded over 125,000 Ontarians in their journey to build families. With this latest expansion, Ontario continues to lead the country in improving fertility care and access for all.
