The application process
1. Application
Start by filling in our online application form. Choose a date and time for your first visit. Your sperm sample will be analysed, and if your sperm quality is high enough, we will invite you to the next step.
2. Interview
You will meet with our donor coordinator to discuss your family history, to rule out any serious hereditary disorders. You will also be provided with further information about what it means to be a sperm donor.
3. Health check & counselling
You will have a physical examination with one of our doctors. You will be offered a counselling session with our counsellor. A blood and urine sample will then be taken and the results analysed by our geneticist. You will be compensated for the physical examination.
4. Profile review & donor approval
The last step is a profile review. We will finalise your profile and record an audio interview. Following successful completion of this stage, you will be approved as a qualified donor. At this step, you will also be compensated.
