What to know

The process of buying donor sperm in Australia for treatment

The process of ordering donor sperm in Australia differs slightly from other countries due to local regulations. Here is what you need to know.

Explore available donors for treatment in your state

In Australia, rules for using donor sperm vary by state. That’s why you’ll need to select your place of treatment in our donor search. This ensures you only see donors who meet the legal requirements for your location. Once selected, you’ll get full access to detailed donor profiles including baby photos, adult portraits, personality insights, and family history.

Choose treatment in Queensland for greater availability

Donor sperm availability is stronger in Queensland (QLD), with more limited options in New South Wales (NSW). South Australia (SA) and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) can be good options as well, but the number of available donors may be more variable in the ACT because some donors choose not to consent to ACT use.

In practice, clinics in New South Wales (NSW) have been advised to use donors with a worldwide family limit of 5 families only. This reduces the number of eligible donors right now. Legislative settings may change.

Oppositely, in Queensland (QLD), South Australia (SA), and Australian Capital Territory (ACT), donors with a worldwide family limit of up to 35 families can be used which gives you a wider choice, especially in QLD.

Family Limits in Australia

To ensure compliance and responsible donor use, European Sperm Bank offers donors with different worldwide family limits for treatment in Australia such as Family1, Family5, and Family25.

In contrary to some other sperm banks that are less strict, our family limits are worldwide giving you the opportunity to pick highly exclusive sperm donors. A Family5 may be used for five families worldwide, whereas Family1 means that the sperm donor is only used for one family worldwide. 

The selection available varies by state, depending on local legislation. Regardless of a donor’s worldwide Family Limit, we always ensure full compliance with both Australian national and state-specific rules and family limits.

To manage these limits, we use a Pregnancy Slot system, which secures your right to use a donor both for your first child and for potential future siblings.

Step by step: How to buy donor sperm for treatment in Australia

To place a compliant donor sperm order, you should follow these steps to make sure that state rules are taken into account.

  1. Select your state (place) of treatment in the donor search to view donors who meet your local requirements.
  2. Browse all the detailed donor profiles and shortlist donors that fit your preferences. We highly recommend using our Photo Match or Personality Explorer to make the shortlist.
  3. Filter donors by characteristics that matter to you, such as physical features and personal background details.
  4. Choose a fertility clinic for delivery or reserve the sperm in storage for later use in the future.
  5. Place your order when you are ready.
  6. Receive your shipment at your chosen fertility clinic, where it can be used for the fertility treatment.
