Effects of this bill
If this bill passes, it means that:
Donors are presumed to have consented to the use of their gametes or embryos for completing a family; they can still modify or withdraw this consent.
ART providers cannot use a donor's gametes or embryos if it would result in more than 5 families in the ACT or 10 families in Australia having children from that donor.
ART providers must provide information about the donor that they have on record.
ART providers are exempt from certain extended reporting and record-keeping rules for gametes or embryos allocated before the end of the transitional period.
ART providers are exempt from certain rules when using subsequent gametes from a donor for a person or their partner who previously became pregnant using that donor.
