Scott Morrison has announced a ban on elective surgeries, including IVF, will be eased from next week.
"This will not mean an immediate return to normal with elective surgery, but a gradual restart," Mr Morrison said on Tuesday.
He said restrictions will be eased on "all Category Two or equivalent procedures in the private sector, and selected Category Three and other procedures, which includes all IVF, all screening programs, where they have ceased".
