The legal framework
When providing any fertility treatment, Queensland Fertility Group follows the National Australian Health Ethics Committee’s Ethical guidelines on the use of Assisted Reproductive Technology in clinical practice and research, 2007.Under Queensland legislation, the birth parents registering the child are the legal parents, and the donor has no legal rights or financial responsibilities to the child.
