Becoming a donor
Donating eggs, sperm or embryos gives another family the chance to have a child. Donors must meet eligibility criteria and complete medical, genetic and infectious disease screening, along with counselling covering the implications for themselves and their family.
Accessing a donor
Donor options are screened for health and genetic factors and meet Western Australian standards. Counselling and consent documentation form part of the process for recipients as well as donors.
Good to know
Donor conception carries legal responsibilities, and limits apply to the number of families a donor can help create. Information and support are available through the Donor Conception Information Service (DCIS).
