Free webinar about US surrogacy for Aussies on 16 September

Tuesday, September 05, 2017
On Saturday 16 September, I will be taking part in a free webinar about Australians undertaking surrogacy in the US. The other speaker will be Dr Said Daneshmand of San Diego Fertility Center. All are welcome.

About me

I have presented in seminars around the world about surrogacy- including in Australia (Qld, NSW, ACT, SA, WA) and overseas (Bahamas, Canada [webinar], Hong Kong, South Africa, UK, USA), and written extensively about surrogacy, including for the Queensland Law Society, Family Law Section of the Law Council of Australia, the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstreticians and Gynaecologists, American Bar Association, American Society for Reproductive Medicine and the International Bar Association.

Representations I have made have helped change surrogacy law in South Australia and Tasmania. When legal changes were made in South Australia in 2015, one politician said that I was “a lawyer
who has extraordinary expertise in surrogacy legislation”. Most recently, one of the world’s leading surrogacy lawyers, Andy Vorzimer from Vorzimer/Masserman in Los Angeles said  of me:


“Stephen is universally regarded as the preeminent legal expert in Australia when it comes to surrogacy”.

I have acted for hundreds of clients who have undertaken surrogacy from all corners of Australia, and at last count 25 countries overseas, including hundreds who have become parents through surrogacy in the US. I have advised clients for about the last 10 years who have considered undertaking surrogacy in the US.

It is an honour to help people achieve the dream of parenthood.

About Dr Said Daneshmand

So please join us for an hour and a half of your time, and learn what’s involved with IVF and for Australians undertaking surrogacy in the US.

Known Sperm Donor Parental Rights: Single or Couple?

Known sperm donor: can they claim parental rights?

A known sperm donor can make the path to parenthood feel more personal and familiar. However, knowing the donor does not necessarily make the legal position straightforward. Can that donor later be recognised as a parent? The answer is maybe. Australian law distinguishes between different circumstances of conception, including donation through an IVF clinic, home… Read More »Known sperm donor: can they claim parental rights?

Is a Sperm Donor a Legal Parent? Known Donor Risks

Is a sperm donor a legal parent in Australia?

A sperm donor is not necessarily a legal parent in Australia. Equally, describing a man as a “donor” does not automatically mean he cannot be one. The answer depends on how conception occurs and, particularly with a known donor, the understanding behind the arrangement and what happens after the child is born.

Paid sperm donation in Australia: is it legal?

Sperm donors in Australia cannot be paid a fee for their donation. They can, however, be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. That distinction is the starting point for understanding what is lawful and what could amount to a criminal offence. Australian sperm donation must be altruistic. A donor can help someone have a child without… Read More »Paid sperm donation in Australia: is it legal?
