Submission to the Victorian Parliament Law Reform Committee Inquiry into Access to Information by Donor Conceived Individuals About Their Donors

This submission focuses upon access to information about donor conception by donor conceived individuals. It details concern that many people who were (or will be) conceived using donor insemination or ART do not have access to information about their donor and/or siblings born to other families that share the same donor. In particular the submission examines the inconsistency between state and territory laws in Australia which impedes equal access to information across Australia. It recommends release of information regardless of when a donor conceived person was born, as per the system implemented in relation to adoption records.
