• Independent Review into Brisbane and Clayton clinic incidents completed
• Brisbane incident was due to human error, Clayton incident resulted from human error and IT system limitations
• Company has implemented many of the Independent Review's recommendations and additional safeguards

Monash IVF Group Limited (ASX: MVF) has completed an Independent Review into two unrelated incidents that occurred at its Brisbane and Clayton clinics. The review, undertaken by Fiona McLeod AO SC, is a comprehensive examination of both incidents, which involved non-standard IVF treatments and circumstances that would not arise in the vast majority of IVF procedures. The Independent Review concluded that the Brisbane incident was the result of human error, while the Clayton incident resulted from a range of factors that included human error at multiple stages and IT system limitations in the very limited circumstances of an embryo transfer to a partner. Those limitations ultimately made subsequent processes more vulnerable to human error. The company has already implemented many of the Independent Review's recommendations and has taken additional measures to reduce the risk of such incidents occurring in the future. The cost involved in implementing the recommendations and additional safeguards and protocols are not anticipated to have a material impact on financial performance. The company is committed to continuing to support families with their fertility journey and ensuring the care and safety of its patients remains at the heart of everything it does.
