Starting your fertility journey can feel overwhelming, but taking it one step at a time can make the process more manageable.
Begin by scheduling a consultation with Dr Knight who can guide you through the options available based on your unique situation. During this initial visit, you’ll discuss your medical history, preliminary tests, and explore the potential causes of infertility.
As you gather information and develop a personalized treatment plan, remember that you’re not alone—support from your specialist, partner, and loved ones can make a significant difference.
Taking this first step is the beginning of a hopeful journey towards parenthood.
Rachael studied medicine at the University of Tasmania before training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at The Royal Women’s Hospital and Mercy Hospital for Women, Melbourne. She also undertook further study in the form of research for a Doctorate of Medicine at Melbourne University (a higher degree held by very few gynaecologists in Melbourne) and three years of sub-specialty training in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. Rachael furthered her expertise in infertility with two years working in the United Kingdom at the renowned Bristol Centre for Reproductive Medicine and Southmead Hospital.
Rachael is a Consultant Gynaecologist and Infertility Specialist. She has previously been head of the Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Clinic at The Women’s Hospital and held responsibility for the infertility management of patients attending the Chronic Viral Illness clinic also located at The Women’s Hospital. Rachael has been working in IVF since 1999 and remains actively involved in clinical research hoping to reduce the burden of fertility treatment upon her patients.

Unfortunately, Mandatory Fertility counselling is not covered- however there is some access to Medicare coverage for certain types of counselling required during fertility treatment- such as those with a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP. At Dr Rachael Knights Practice we include a counselling session in your treatment packages.
A compassionate medical team can turn a daunting journey into a hopeful experience, providing not just expert care, but also understanding and support that make all the difference when navigating the emotional highs and lows of fertility challenges.
At our practice our philosophy is to provide a calm and caring environment for all patients and individualise patient care.
