Surrogacy in Australia

Corion Fertility Clinic Pvt. Ltd & Graces International A.R.T. Services Inc in Australia

Surrogacy offers a unique path to parenthood for individuals or couples who cannot carry a pregnancy themselves due to medical or social reasons. Australian surrogacy laws emphasize altruism, meaning the surrogate is motivated by a desire to help others rather than financial gain.

In Australia, it is illegal to pay a surrogate beyond reimbursing her for reasonable pregnancy-related expenses. All states and territories in Australia have their respective laws for commissioning surrogacy treatments. Corion Fertility Clinic helps Australian and international intended parents navigate the sometimes complicated legal structure and successfully pursue surrogacy in Australia.

Australian laws aim to protect the rights and well-being of the child, the surrogate, and the intended parents. All surrogacy arrangements are guided by national ethical guidelines issued by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC).

Who Can Choose Surrogacy in Australia?

Although Australia enforces strict laws against commercial surrogacy, it does not limit its availability to heterosexual couples. Surrogacy in Australia is available to:

Women for whom pregnancy can be dangerous due to medical conditions
Women who cannot become pregnant
Certain LGBTQ+ couples
Single intended parents

However, these conditions may differ in different states and territories. For example, while intended parents must have a medical need to avail surrogacy in most places, certain jurisdictions allow it for social reasons.

Who Can Become a Surrogate in Australia?

Altruistic surrogacy is legal all throughout Australia. The surrogate must:

Be between 25 and 52 years old
Must have had a child of her own
Have a BMI between 35 and 40
Have had no pregnancy complications in the past
Must be a non-smoker and have no history of substance abuse
She must not use her own eggs for the pregnancy, although egg donors are allowed
Both the surrogate and IP(s) must not suffer from significant psychiatric disorders

However, these rules may vary slightly from state to state. For example, in the ACT and SA, surrogates can also be younger than 25 but must be 18 or older.

Donor Egg Surrogacy

Altruistic surrogacy with egg donation is completely legal in Australia. Through Corion, you can easily find a suitable egg donor. We can assist you in finding an Indian egg donor if you are a non-resident Indian (NRI). However, remember that egg donors cannot receive any financial consideration in Australia.

International Surrogacy Options

Altruistic surrogacy in Australia can be a time-consuming process, as surrogates are difficult to come by. Commercial surrogacy in countries like the USA and Georgia is a safe and legal alternative for intended parents in Australia.

Choosing surrogacy in other countries can help you achieve your dream of parenthood. For those intended parents who are willing to pursue global surrogacy options, Corion Fertility can help you find a safe and affordable solution.

Surrogacy in Kenya

In Kenya, commercial surrogacy is completely legal. Anyone, including international residents, unmarried, and same-sex couples, can choose surrogacy in Kenya.

Kenya is a great choice for surrogacy, as it offers a safe and affordable alternative to Australian intended parents. You can even opt for sperm or donor egg surrogacy.

Surrogacy in Georgia

Georgia is another safe and legal option for surrogacy. However, it is only accessible to heterosexual couples. Surrogacy in Georgia is affordable and very regulated.

In Georgia, the egg donation process allows intended parents to choose the egg donors they want. Corion Fertility clinic can help IPs navigate the legal and medical processes, right until they leave the country.

Surrogacy for NRI / OCI / PIO in India

Only domestic married couples are eligible for surrogacy in India. If you are an NRI or an OCI/ POI cardholder, Corion Fertility can help you navigate surrogacy in the best surrogacy clinic in India.

Why Choose Corion Fertility for Overseas Surrogacy?

Children born to Australians in other countries do not automatically become Australian citizens. Corion Fertility has helped many Australian intended parents secure Australian citizenship for their babies by assisting in legal procedures and helping them obtain passports and visas.

*Please note: It is illegal for residents of New South Wales, Queensland, and the Australian Capital Territory to participate in commercial surrogacy abroad.
