Donor Conception

Donor conception means creating a family using donated sperm, donated eggs or embryos. Whether you are considering using a donor, becoming a donor, or you are donor-conceived, it can be difficult to know what questions to ask and where to find answers. VARTA provides information and a range of resources - including podcasts, videos and written material - to help all parties navigate this complex process. Some people wish to exchange information or meet others they are connected to as a result of donor conception treatment. This is termed donor linking. Donor-conceived people, their parents or donors whose treatment occurred in Victoria can apply to the donor conception registers. This information is a general overview only. It does not take into account your personal circumstances, nor does it constitute legal advice.
