We started our clinic to make up-to-date, evidence-based pregnancy planning accessible to everyone. Our approach draws on national and international guidelines—and on years of caring for individuals, couples, and families with complex needs.

Meet Dr Tristan Hardy

Australia’s only dual-trained obstetrician & gynaecologist and genetic pathologist

Dr Tristan Hardy is the specialist behind preconception.clinic and a passionate advocate for responsible use of AI in health care.


As Medical Director of Genetics at Monash IVF, he leads a national preimplantation genetic testing program, helping individuals and couples with a higher chance of having a pregnancy or child affected by a genetic condition.

“Every day I meet people who could have benefited from earlier advice and testing. That’s why I’m passionate about using AI and digital health — to reach people before they even get to my clinic.”

“Genetic carrier screening is one of the most powerful tools we have: for every hundred couples planning pregnancy, one or two are at higher risk — and they deserve the chance to know their options early.”

Dr Hardy’s work combines deep medical expertise with cutting-edge technology, making sure no one misses out on the information that could change their pregnancy plan for the better.
