FY26 was a year of two halves for Monash IVF. While the first half was challenging, we exited the year with improving momentum, with domestic stimulated cycle volume trends strengthening, market share increasing through the second half and our international businesses delivering record performance.
We have used FY26 to strengthen the foundations of the business—building our medical workforce, strengthening leadership and governance, completing significant infrastructure investment and commencing a structural productivity program. We have also launched Nurture 2030, our three-year strategy to accelerate sustainable growth and create stronger returns.
We enter FY27 with multiple growth engines strengthened and a clear focus on execution: growing domestic stimulated cycle volumes, expanding market share, unlocking our completed capital investments, improving productivity and continuing to scale International, Genetics and Diagnostics. With the foundations now in place, Monash IVF is positioned to convert volume growth into stronger earnings through operating leverage and strategic execution.
