The review recommended an independent accreditation body as a priority. But there are notable gaps, including no mention of a national donor register.
Choosing an overseas clinic and a donor can be difficult, and can come with some additional risks.
News that a woman who received IVF treatment in Brisbane gave birth to another patient’s baby due to an embryo mix-up raises many questions.
Fertility clinics are not for everyone. So many people are going online to look for a sperm donor. But that comes with risks. Here’s what to think about first.

We hear a lot about women’s biological clock and how age affects the chance of pregnancy. But age also affects men’s fertility. Here’s how.
Mitochondrial disease is an inherited condition with a poor prognosis. But a technique using a donated egg can stop this fault passing on to babies.
Some women who use drugs like Ozempic have reported unexpected pregnancies. What’s going on?
With sperm counts declining world wide, it’s important to know how to keep your sperm as healthy as possible.
Children born through international surrogacy aren’t protected by Australian laws.
