Fertility treatment company Monash IVF has agreed to settle with families that were impacted by embryo bungles at two of its clinics.
The company was forced to apologise last June when staff at Melbourne’s Clayton clinic transferred a patient’s own embryo to the same patient instead of their partner.
The incident came after a separate error at a Brisbane clinic in 2023, when staff mistakenly implanted the wrong embryo into a patient, resulting in a woman giving birth to another couple’s child.
A Monash IVF spokesman said the company has settled, or agreed to settle, the material claims arising from incidents previously disclosed to the market about the incidents.
