ACT ART & Surrogacy Changes

The ACT has enacted the Assisted Reproductive Technology Act 2024 (ACT) and the Parentage (Surrogacy Amendment) Act 2024. The ART Act requires the licensing of ACT clinics, including giving requirements of consent and other restrictions, new posthumous use rules and setting up a central donor registry with retrospective transparency. The Parentage (Surrogacy Amendment) Act 2024 (ACT) updates rules about surrogacy in the ACT, including bringing them into line with interstate laws.
