The process to access a Seattle Sperm Bank Donor through Genea Fertility SA is below

To begin your journey, you must have a medical appointment with one of our experienced specialists to discuss whether donor treatment is appropriate for you. You will be referred for some general blood tests.  In the meantime, our friendly donor team will contact you with some information about our pathway and financial considerations.

2. Counselling

Implications counselling with an ANZICA eligible Fertility Counsellor is mandatory for all parties participating in the donor conception program, both recipients and donors. This offers you an opportunity to consider and understand the possible complexities and implications of treatment for yourself, your relationships, your family and any potential future child. You will be able to access counselling through our experienced clinic fertility counsellor. A minimum of two counselling sessions are required for a patient to progress through the donor program.

3. Genetic counselling

Genetic counselling is an important part of our donor program. The genetic counsellor advises intended parents (recipients) on how to reduce the risk of serious inherited genetic disorders of a donor conceived child, interprets the results of genetic tests of the donor (who are all genetically screened) and helps to select appropriate genetic tests for the recipients.
