About
As Australia's first specialist natural fertility clinic, with concepts founded and practiced for over 30 years, The Jocelyn Centre is Australia's pre-eminent provider of natural fertility solutions, reproductive health care and general naturopathic services.
We're a thriving multi-disciplinary team of naturopaths, doctors and natural health practitioners who successfully service a broad community of patients and customers from all over the world.
In Nov 2008, we moved into gorgeous new premises in the Sydney CBD in response to the need for improved access across all Sydney regions (we're a 2 min walk from Town Hall station), to cater for an expanding demand of couples working in the city and to reflect a new era in advanced fertility and health services.
We look forward to welcoming you!

Tips & Tricks
We know you all love the health benefits of taking herbs but strangely enough some people don't love the taste! Particularly as we come into the warmer months, one of our clever patients, Karen, recommends mixing the herbs with chilled mineral water. It has no effect on the effect of the herbs but certainly gives them a fabulous fizzy lift!
Thanks Karen!
Stats & Research
New research on alcohol & IVF success
White wine can dramatically reduce the chances of a successful pregnancy for women undergoing IVF, scientists in the US have warned. Sharing one bottle of wine a week could cut a couple's chances of having a baby by 26 per cent. They also told men to avoid beer to maximise their chances of becoming a father.

Foresight Preconception (UK): Preconception Health Care Success Rates
In 2003, Foresight has completed a large study with 1,061 couples. The statistics from this show excellent outcomes, with a conception rate of 78.4% (leading to a healthy baby) within two years of following the program. This study also suggests a more than doubled conception success rate for IVF of 47.1% following preconception health care.
