Thank you for your interest in the donor sperm program between Fertility Tasmania and Seattle Sperm Bank. Please take time to read through carefully the below summary of the process and the steps involved.

 

 

1. Consult with a Fertility Specialist:

Make an appointment with one of our Fertility Specialists who will go through the process with you. They will discuss your requirements, review your medical history and arrange the relevant blood tests, investigations and genetic screening. Medicare rebates apply if you have a valid GP referral.

2. Counselling – This is a mandatory requirement in Australia. Your Fertility Specialist will refer you to an ANZICA accredited counsellor.

3. Donor Program Registration – If you decide to proceed, you will need to register with the Donor Program, this ensures traceability. Australian fertility clinics must take reasonable steps to ensure that the number of families who use a donor is minimised. A registration fee is payable

4. Donor Program Coordinator – Will be in touch to ensure you have all the information that you need to proceed and answer any questions you may have.

5. Donor selection: Once the counselling has been completed and the report received the Donor Program Coordinator will send you the link to review the Donor Profiles with an all-access pass to the Seattle Sperm Bank website. All available information about the donor (including any genetic carrier information, baby photos and audio interviews) is contained in the donor’s profile.  Seattle Sperm Bank offers a number of donors exclusively to Fertility Tasmania.  These donors are only available for use at Fertility Tasmania and cannot be transferred to any other clinic.

6. Treatment – Once you have selected a potential donor and availability is confirmed your Fertility Specialist to determine your treatment course based on your history and investigations and those of your intended donor.
