Donor Sperm

Building a family through donor sperm is a path paved with generosity and careful planning. Michael is here to guide you through the practicalities of this journey with warmth and clinical expertise.

There are two primary ways to access donor sperm:

• Known Donor Sperm: Where a friend or loved-one chooses to donate sperm altruistically to help you grow your family.

• Clinic-Recruited Donor Sperm: Sperm that has been generously donated to the Melbourne IVF program to help others achieve their dream of parenthood.

In Victoria, the use of donor sperm or eggs involves specific steps to ensure a healthy and stable foundation for everyone involved. This includes mandatory counselling sessions designed to ensure you and your donor are well informed, as well as specific screening tests and a mandatory quarantine period for the sperm. While these requirements may feel like an extra layer of complexity, Michael and his team ensure the process remains as seamless and supportive as possible.
