A New Zealand native, Amanda Collins first began her career in reproductive medicine in 2005, becoming an embryologist three years later. Since joining the Newlife team, Amanda has made quite the impression with patients. This is no doubt due to her stories about eggs of another kind - those of her chickens! If you come along to see Amanda, be prepared to hear about her three Silkies (Snowflake, Custard and Pungu) and two Big Browns (Favourite and Honey). You might say that she's very eggs-perienced (sorry, we just had to).

Bernadette Hyland is our Donor Co-ordinator and Head of Cryostorage (freezing). She has been providing andrology, embryology and donor services to some of Melbourne's most well-known IVF providers for nearly 20 years.
Having originally studied biomedical science, Bernadette maintains a keen interest in human biology and how newer technologies (like cryopreservation) can give our biology a helping hand. Organised, methodical and nerdy (her words, not ours!), Bernadette is well-suited to her role in co-ordinating the logistics and technical aspects of our donor and freezing services.
She says: "Like many women, I always saw myself as being a mother one day and all that comes with it. As a mum of two identical twin boys, I fully understand the desire and yearning to be a ‘mum'. But as a woman and scientist, I also appreciate the options and choices that donor and egg freezing services provide for women who want to delay, or have had to delay, motherhood."
Outside of work, Bernadette enjoys holidaying with her family in Port Fairy, going to the beach and remembering to go to Pilates.

When she's not working, Carolyn indulges in her hobbies and passions, such as ceramics and interior design - she's currently undertaking a course in interior decoration and has earned a Certificate of Clothing and an Associate Diploma of Arts. She's into working out, travelling and shopping too!
Carolyn likes spending her free time with her family, friends and pet Moodle named Ms Wilson. She also is a big fan of the Collingwood team.

Ultrasound Technician and Fertility Nurse Cassy believes family is everything. This may be why, after pursuing a rewarding career at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre as a theatre nurse, she moved to fertility care. Before joining the team at Newlife IVF, Cassy worked as a Scanning Technician and IVF Nurse at Monash IVF for 7 years.
Naturally kind-hearted, Cassy provides patients with the highest level of support throughout their IVF journey: "I am passionate about providing genuine, compassionate care to my patients. I love the time I spend with them during their ultrasounds, helping them understand their progress and results and, at times, easing their concerns." Cassy also feels privileged to be part of a team that truly values its patients and staff.
Although known for her love of Disney films, Cassy is also a fan of an amazing dramatic performance - The Green Mile and Joker are among her favourite movies. She also enjoys watching repeats of the crime drama series The Sopranos. However, when Cassy does have a bit of time up her sleeve, you're likely to find her practising her singing or brunching with her husband and kids. That is, when she's not chasing after her energetic and boisterous three-year-old Beagle, Zahli.
With an amazing 15 years' experience in women's health nursing, Registered Nurse Catherine has helped many patients navigate their fertility treatment. She began her nursing career at one of Melbourne's largest hospitals (St Vincent's Hospital), followed by a stint at Monash IVF as well as a year abroad at a notable fertility clinic in London.
When asked what motivates her to work at Newlife IVF each day, Catherine responded: "One of the things I love most about being a fertility nurse is being able to help others through the very private and emotional journey to parenthood. Being able to tell a couple they are having a baby, and that their dream has become a reality, is so very rewarding."
On the weekends, Catherine loves spending time with her husband and kids, and cheering on the mighty Geelong Cats. She also keeps herself busy going for runs and cooking up a storm. However, if Catherine does put her feet up, you can bet she'll be watching her favourite tear-jerker, The Notebook.

Dr Tiki Osianlis is our fearless leader. With a long and formidable pedigree in embryology and IVF, her reputation often precedes her. She has served some of Melbourne's most well-known IVF providers for the last 18 years, most recently as the Group Scientific Director for Monash IVF. She is regularly invited to speak and consult internationally, particularly throughout Australasia.
Tiki's career in embryology and IVF began after completing her PhD at Monash University. As an adjunct Senior Lecturer with the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology at Monash Health, she particularly enjoys supervising the research of Honours and PhD students, and maintains a special interest in projects exploring sperm and egg interaction, as well as optimal embryo selection.
As Scientific Director for Newlife IVF, Tiki oversees our state-of-the-art laboratory, driving our commitment to and implementation of best scientific practice: "Robust scientific strategies can help couples achieve a healthy family sooner rather than later. As science and technology evolves, so too should the way we care for eggs, sperm and embryo in the laboratory setting - advances in science can lead to significant advances in care but only if we truly invest in applying that research to day-to-day practice."
Tiki humbly describes herself as ‘very boring' and ‘hobby free' but we know better. Her guiding mantra is ‘per angusta ad augusta' (through trial to triumph) and this is apparent in everything she does, from taking part in fundraising challenges like Melbourne Coastrek to generously sharing her know-how with others in order to help them achieve their hopes and dreams.

She is very honoured to have helped many women and couples achieve their dream of having a baby: "Reproduction has fascinated me for as long as I can remember, so after finishing my nursing degree and completing my first two years working at a busy Melbourne tertiary hospital, I then went on to specialise in fertility nursing in 2014 and haven't looked back since."
Emily's motivation for getting up and coming to work each day is providing support and making a difference in the lives of women and couples having a challenging time. She also loves how Newlife IVF is an incredibly experienced team: "Most of us have a long working history together and are like-minded in our values and priorities - to provide the highest quality of care to our patients." Like many, delivering the wonderful news of a positive pregnancy result has always been and will always be Emily's favourite part of the working day: "Hearing updates from patients once their precious baby has arrived is equally wonderful and special."
Emily's family is her passion and she loves spending time with her husband and young son during her free time. Together, they love to bond over a long walk along the Merri Creek Trail. She also enjoys baking sweet treats like cakes, desserts, muffins and biscuits, as well as keeping active and reading (mostly through Audible when she's on the work commute).

That's what gets me out of bed in the morning."
Don't let Registered Nurse, Lauren Frail's last name fool you! With a background in Emergency Department nursing, Lauren is the strong and hardy type, and incredibly adept at providing care and compassion to our fertility patients.
Known for making a mean carrot cake, she spends her spare time whipping up delicious creations for her family, friends and cake-loving colleagues. Lauren balances her love of baking with keeping fit, cycling to and from work every day, and swimming and running whenever she gets the chance.
A footy fan, Lauren follows the Richmond Tigers and enjoys watching the footy while hanging out with her ‘house tiger' Gibson (otherwise known as her pet cat!).

Embryologist, Maria, has always had an interest in fertility. After completing her Masters, she did a further year of research on oocyte (egg) maturation, followed by almost four years at Monash IVF as a Clinical Embryologist. Her passion for her field, and her love of travel, took Maria to central London to work at the largest IVF company in the world. After 18 months overseas and plenty of weekends spent discovering Europe, Maria returned home to Melbourne and joined the team at Newlife IVF.
Although Maria's favourite part of her working day is delivering good news to patients, she also loves her coworkers. "It is not always easy to create a culture at work that is passionate, collaborative, genuine and caring, with a culture of learning, but that is what we're blessed to have here at Newlife. We inspire one another to be the best every day, because we all truly believe in the work we do."
When Maria isn't working, she loves to get out and about: catching up with friends, visiting museums and galleries, and indulging in a bit of retail therapy. Otherwise, you can find her at the beach, whether that's here in Melbourne, or on a sun lounger by the sea in Greece.
Mary is Newlife IVF's Patient Finance Officer. With an interest in the industry and all things health-related, Mary's career started in pharmacy, where she worked for seven years as a pharmacy assistant and then retail pharmacy manager. Afterwards, she became a practice manager at a private family-owned GP clinic before joining Newlife IVF.
After earning her degrees, May entered the infectious disease industry as a research assistant before jumping to the world of clinical embryology as a lab admin and trainee embryologist. She now joins Newlife IVF as an embryologist who loves to challenge science itself to try and achieve the best result for her patients.
May is a big foodie and, in her spare time, loves finding new places to try with her partner and dogs - two mini longhaired dachshunds named Gio, a.k.a. her expressive sassy miss, and Stitch the troublemaker. She also enjoys remaining fit and active and loves running, pilates or a gym session, and playing sports such as badminton and bouldering.
Her favourite musicals are The Lion King and Hamilton. While Malaysia and Singapore are her top holiday destinations, where she can see her family and indulge in more good food.
Outside the clinic, Martin is a father of four children, a keen sports enthusiast and supporter of the Melbourne Demons. He also enjoys reading science fiction and fantasy novels, completing amateur woodwork projects, and playing with numbers and statistics (perhaps we should call him Good Will Hunting?).
Ruby previously worked in Oncology and Haematology but has now joined Newlife IVF as a fertility nurse and loves how she is helping to make a real difference in people's lives alongside her amazing colleagues.
She's a fan of musicals - she's seen Wicked four times and knows every lyric to every song of her second favourite show, Hamilton. She's currently streaming Peaky Blinders and loves anything ‘Disney' when it comes to the movies.
An adventurous soul, she has recently spent nine months travelling around Australia with her partner. Her favourite spot is Cape York. On weekends, you'll find her outdoors, usually camping someplace far away with her friends.
Coming from Tiger land, she follows Richmond in the football. She also has an eight-year-old Siberian Husky named Cooper.

Sally provides our patients with the highest level of education and care as she guides and supports them throughout their IVF journey: "Compassion and kindness can make a huge difference to individuals and couples undergoing fertility treatment.

Before joining Newlife IVF, Sarah had 18 years of experience as a clinical nurse specialist and educator in Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU), three years as a nurse and nurse educator with another IVF provider in Australia, and another three years working in NICU in London.
As a mother of two IVF children herself, she understands how incredibly challenging the fertility journey can be for the patient, partner and family. With this in mind, Sarah fervently works to give back to the fertility world and to try and make it just a little bit easier for each and every patient.
Why work at Newlife IVF? Sarah says it's because it's a clinic that is really centred on patient care. She particularly likes the team's friendly energy and the encouragement they give to each other, as they all strive to make a difference in people's lives.
Outside work, she loves to be creative - doing craft activities with her kids or experimenting with food in the kitchen. She enjoys cooking healthy paleo or LCHF (low-carb, high-fat) recipes. She's also passionate about travel, culture, exercise (pilates and swimming) and people.

She's also previously worked as a clinical nurse educator, nurse manager, paediatric emergency nurse and midwife, including stints at some of Melbourne's biggest hospitals (The Royal Children's Hospital, The Royal Women's Hospital).
When asked why she loves working at Newlife IVF, Sharyn responded: "It's a privilege to work with like-minded, passionate individuals who go above and beyond to make the patient experience a positive one, during what can be a very challenging time for women and couples. I really enjoy getting to know my patients - we have a good chat during their follicle scans. My favourite part of the day is when I get to tell patients that they're pregnant."
On weekends, Sharyn likes to relax with her Spoodles (Barney and Yogi), pretend it's still the 80s by watching The Wedding Singer or indulge in repeats of cult Australian TV show Offspring (‘I wanted to be Nina').
Sharyn has also obtained her Fitness Instructor Certificate 3 & 4 and loves completing the gruelling Coaching Zone fitness program at her local gym. This love of torturous exercise probably explains why she's noticed that fellow colleague and fertility nurse, Lauren Frail, can ‘plank' with the best of them.
Sophie is a Trainee Embryologist who holds a graduate diploma in Reproductive Science and a Bachelor of Science from Monash University. She finished her Masters in Clinical Embryology in 2021 with fellow Trainee Embryologist Charlotte Casey and has been friends with her since.

Prior to joining Newlife IVF, Tamara studied and trained in Melbourne, before relocating to Brisbane where she worked in bereavement services for four years. As a fertility nurse, she loves helping her patients to prepare for and manage the challenges of the fertility journey, and at the end of this experience, being able to celebrate a highly-anticipated positive result with them: "The joy of helping others during a very emotional and private journey to parenthood is truly rewarding."
Outside of work, she loves to cook, spend time with her family, indulge in weekends away with her husband, discover new restaurants, or potter away at some craftwork. She's also an Essendon fan like Taylor! "You will catch me at every game!" she exclaims.
She has a rescue Greyhound named Queenie and is a true Disney lover. Her idea of an epic holiday is one pent at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, and being totally immersed in the magic of make-believe and animation. Her favourite musicals are Wicked and Mary Poppin s, and her favourite movie is anything produced by Disney or Pixar.
And as for her fave Netflix pick? Tamara says she doesn't really watch TV and would rather be outdoors.
Taylor began her career as a cardiac nurse before becoming a fertility nurse. She loves the opportunity this unique role gives her to assist patients in creating their own families: "There is no better feeling in the world than being able to call a patient to let them know of a positive pregnancy test." Her favourite part is heading home after a successful day.
In her free time, she enjoys going to the gym and relaxing with family and friends. She also loves travelling to Bali describing the holiday destination as her second home: "I love the hot weather and the amazing food. Never a dull moment when in Bali!"
A ‘fur mum', Taylor has a cat and a dog. She also follows Essendon in the football. As for other favourite past-times, she loves the musical Moulin Rouge and the movie Dirty Dancing. If you're a fan of Stranger Things, you can reach out to Taylor who's currently streaming the show.
