Why consider single parenthood?

There are many reasons to consider becoming a single parent by choice, including age, fertility concerns or lack of a suitable partner. Regardless of the reason, FertilitySA welcomes anyone considering solo parenthood.

What options are available to single parents?

The options for single parents are similar to the options available to couples, with the main difference being that donor sperm will be used for fertilisation. The main options are intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilisation (IVF) with either own eggs or donor eggs, or egg freezing.

Where do you get donor sperm?

It’s possible to use sperm donated by someone you know or you can access sperm from the Genea Sperm Bank.

Do sperm donors get paid?

In Australia, donors are not paid for their services.

Can you keep the identity of your sperm donor anonymous?

In Australia, donor conceived children are entitled to know the identity of their donor once they reach the age of 18.
