Donor Conception and Donor Agreements
Many families grow with the assistance of an egg and/or sperm donor—whether sourced through a clinic, an overseas program, a friend or family member, or someone specifically approached for this purpose. Regardless of the source, it is important to understand the legal implications involved.
Legal Assistance
We strongly recommend seeking appropriate legal advice and gathering comprehensive information before proceeding with a donation arrangement. This will help ensure the decision aligns with your needs and circumstances.
An important consideration is whether a Donor Agreement is required. A Donor Agreement is a written document between the donor and the recipient parent(s) that outlines the roles, responsibilities, and expectations of all parties involved. While not legally binding in Australia, such agreements serve as a clear record of the parties’ intentions prior to conception, including how the child will be raised and the anticipated level of involvement from the donor.
We are here to support you at every stage of your donor conception journey.
