Ontario Helping More People Start and Grow Their Families

The government is investing $150 million over two years to expand the Ontario Fertility Program to cut waitlists and triple the number of families connecting to government-funded fertility services in hospital and community clinic settings. This includes giving patients more options on where they can access publicly funded fertility services by expanding the program to more clinics.

We are also proposing to introduce a new tax credit, effective January 2025, to further reduce the financial burden faced by people seeking fertility treatment by covering up to 25 per cent of eligible expenses up to $5,000 each year. 

More information about the government’s plan to make health care more connected and convenient will be included in the 2024 Ontario Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review, to be released on October 30, 2024.
