The sperm donation program helps heterosexual couples, same sex couples and single women successfully conceive their baby.

You can use sperm donated by someone you know, or by someone who has made a de-identified donation directly to our clinic. We provide patients with access to a pool of potential de-identified donors

Healthy men aged between 21 and 45 can donate sperm directly for IVF. If you have a relative or friend who can donate and is over 45, we can make exceptions to this age limit.

All our donors, whether they are recruited locally, undergo rigorous preparation for donation, including:

Medical Screening: Thorough medical history, including family and genetic history; tests for HIV, Hepatitis B & C, HTLV I & II, Syphilis, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Chromosomes, Blood Group, Rhesus antibodies and full blood count.

Genetic testing:  Performed to screen for cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, and others depending on ethnic background.

Quarantine: All donors sperm is quarantined for 3 to 6 months, and donors are re-screened for HIV, Hepatitis B and C, HTLV I & II and syphilis prior to release for treatment.

Once the donor sperm is released from quarantine, the recipient’s eggs can then be fertilised using either IUI (Interuterine insemination)or IVF treatment with ICSI.
