Phi Finney McDonald is investigating the circumstances of a data breach of fertility service provider, Genea Pty Ltd (Genea’s) IT network, and potential claims that may be available as a result of the breach.

Background

Genea provides IVF treatment services, genetic testing, egg and sperm freezing and fertility testing. Genea operates 19 fertility clinics across Australia, and a clinic in Thailand.

On 19 February 2025, Genea informed patients via social media there had been suspicious activity on its network. A week later Genea confirmed that patient data had been stolen from its systems and published on the dark web.

In July 2025, Genea directly contacted impacted individuals to confirm that data of theirs that had been illegally accessed and published on the dark web.

Phi Finney McDonald has been contacted by several current and former Genea patients who have asked us to investigate potential claims that they may have against Genea.
