Donors of gametes or embryos are presumed to have consented to their use for completing a family; they can still modify or withdraw this consent.

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) providers cannot use a donor's gametes or embryos if it results in more than 5 families in the ACT or 10 families in Australia.

ART providers must provide mandatory information about donors.

Public officials are protected from liability when acting under the Act; this does not include ART providers.

ART providers are exempt from certain donor and family limits when using gametes or embryos allocated or created before the end of the transitional period.
