    Industry trends

    Since its clinical debut in 1978, IVF has revolutionised human reproduction. Initially developed to assist infertile couples, IVF now addresses a range of medical and genetic conditions as well as fertility. While access and use of IVF varies globally, it currently accounts for over 4% of all births in Australia and is increasing worldwide. With infertility affecting about 10% of couples, IVF remains a crucial solution (Kushnir, Smith and Adashi, 2022). As its use continues to expand globally, job prospects in this area are also expected to grow.

    Strong career opportunities are also available in healthcare more broadly. According to the World Health Organization’s Global Monitoring Report (2023), by 2030 there will be a global shortage of 10 million healthcare professionals. With this growing demand comes bright employment prospects for Adelaide University health graduates.
