Advice for International user (Australian tough donor laws)

Elle33Elle33 Junior Member Junior Member
Hello and TIA, I am seeking advice regarding the use of donor sperm in Australia. I have just commenced this process, however each clinic stated purchasing sperm is illegal in Australia and there is a wait list with each of these clinics for use of their donors. For Australia clients did you travel for treatment or find a clinic willing to use purchased sperm. Also as they have a strict 10 families including donors own families policy did international births factor into this?

    Hi Elle. We are a same sex couple in Canberra who have accessed sperm from Fairfax via our fertility clinic. There were no issues with using overseas sperm but they only had a relationship with Fairfax and the number of donors who met the Australia restrictions was limited (about 12 donors total - 2015). There was no waitlist and this is the first i've heard of a waitlist to use international sperm. I understand local Australian donors are very few. I'm unsure if a clinic in Canberra would accept patients from interstate but it is definitely worth a phone call.
