Pricing and payment plans

We appreciate that having a baby can sometimes be financially challenging but we also believe in the importance of storing your baby’s cord blood and want to ensure that as many Australian’s as possible have access to private cord blood storage. If the payment plans outlined do not suit your personal financial circumstances please contact us and we may be able to assist you in designing a payment plan that meets your financial situation.

Cryosite Pricing

Notes
a: approximately 2 weeks after birth
b: Annual payments may be indexed by CPI each year. The annual storage fee of $175 (twins $350 is subject to review). Any changes to this fee will be revised with 30 days prior written notice.

Comparing costs

Cryosite strives to keep the prices for cord blood banking as low as possible without compromising the quality of the service, which is our absolute priority. Unlike other companies, no additional charges will apply for collections that take place out of normal business hours, on weekends or on public holidays, are in regional Australia or non metropolitan centres or require a private collector. Unlike other companies, Cryosite DOES NOT require full payment before your baby is born.

Explanation of payment plans

The cost of storing your baby’s cord blood is split into two components – the “Registration Fee”, and the “Processing and Storage Fee”. The “Registration Fee” covers the cost of the Collection Kit and courier fees (to send the kit to your hospital or home). The “Processing and Storage Fee” includes the full cost of couriering the collection kit to Cryosite, testing the mothers blood sample, processing, testing and cryo-preserving your baby’s cord blood and cryogenic storage for 18 years. The “Processing and Storage Fee” may be paid in installments (see above).

Additional Charges

Unlike other cord blood companies, Cryosite’s fees are all inclusive and there are no “hidden additional” charges.

Late Registration charges: A late registration fee may apply if your storage agreement is not sent to Cryosite in time for a normal courier delivery and a “Collection Kit” needs to be shipped using a “Same Day” courier service to your home or nominated hospital. Applicable fees for “same day deliveries” are $150 (Mon-Fri), and $350 (Sat, Sun or P/H delivery).
- Please call us urgently if your baby’s birth is imminent and you think that you may require a same day service
- Exact courier fees will be calculated for each event and will depend on the delivery time
- Same day fees can be avoided by completing the storage agreement well before the due date.

Cryosite does not apply the following additional fees or charges

• For collections that take place out of normal business hours, on weekends, or public holidays.
• For parents who live in regional Australia or in non metropolitan areas
• For collection of the Cord Blood
• For courier fees for transportation of Cord Blood to Cryosite for processing.

Cryosite’s Discounts

For existing Cryosite clients

If you have previously banked your baby’s cord blood with Cryosite we would like to show our appreciation by offering you the following discounts:
• $200 discount for your second baby’s cord blood collection
• $250 discount for your third baby's cord blood collection
• $300 discount for each additional cord blood collection.

If you have previously banked with someone else:

Banking your child’s cord blood is an important decision, and naturally, you would want to re examine the capabilities of your previous cord blood company before you enter into a new storage agreement for each subsequent child. If you previously banked a child’s cord blood with someone else, and you feel that you would rather bank a subsequent child’s cord blood with Cryosite, we will still offer the following “repeat client” discount:
• $150 discount for your next baby’s cord blood collection.

Refer a friend bonus

If you have banked your own baby’s cord blood with Cryosite and you subsequently “Refer a Friend” who stores their babies cord blood with Cryosite, we will mail out a $50 David Jones voucher as a “thank you” for referring your friend. To claim your bonus, just ask your friend to complete the “Refer a Friend” section of their storage agreement or call and let us know your details.
