Right now, NSW is unnecessarily restricting access to donor sperm — making it harder for people across the state to create the families they’ve always dreamed of.
Under NSW law, ART providers cannot treat a woman if doing so would result in a donor’s offspring being born to more than five “women”.
Historically, NSW clinics have understood this as a limit applying within NSW and structured their donor programs accordingly.
But late last year, NSW Health changed its position, interpreting the limit as applying worldwide — fundamentally changing the way the law is being applied.
This change is already affecting people trying to start or grow their families, and could affect many more in the future.
If you’ve been affected by this change, or could be affected in the future, we want to hear your story.
Your experience can help show the real-world impact of these restrictions and build the case for restoring fair access to donor sperm in NSW.
We’ll share your stories directly with NSW Health Minister, The Hon Ryan Park MP, to show why this needs to change.
