Building strong partnerships with surrogacy and donor IVF providers is essential for supporting intended parents safely and ethically. Our Provider Verification Program is designed to recognise and highlight organisations that meet high standards of professionalism, transparency, and client care.

 
Verification is a mark of trust, signalling to intended parents and partners that your organisation is committed to ethical and high-quality practice. 

Why Verification Matters

Joining the Growing Families Verified Provider Program demonstrates your commitment to:

Professional excellence – showing you operate according to recognised best practices.

Transparency and accountability – providing clear, documented standards of service. 

Trustworthiness – giving intended parents confidence when choosing who to work with. 

Verification helps you stand out in a crowded market, strengthens your credibility, and opens opportunities to collaborate with Growing Families in referrals, content initiatives, and events.

How the Verification Process Works 

Our process is structured, rigorous, and designed to ensure that verified providers meet recognised standards of professionalism, transparency, and ethical practice:

Growing Connections Membership 

Before providers can be verified, they join Growing Connections, our professional membership network. Membership gives you access to industry insights, educational resources, and networking opportunities. 

Submission for Verification 

Verification requires submitting a verification form and supporting materials, which may include:

Organisation background, experience, and staffing

Surrogate screening and support practices 

Operational policies and client protections, including insurances and complaint mechanisms 

Relevant licenses, accreditations, or internal codes of practice 

Fee schedules and references from past clients 

This ensures a transparent and comprehensive assessment of your organisation’s practices. Verification requirements will vary depending on the type of provider and the services you offer. 

Independent Review and Badge 

Our team conducts an independent review against recognised standards of professionalism, transparency, and ethics. Only providers who meet all criteria are granted the Verified Provider Badge, which is visible to intended parents and partners as a mark of trust.

Ongoing Oversight 

Verification is not permanent. We continually monitor performance, seek feedback, and reassess providers to ensure standards remain consistently high.
