    Watch Webinar Recording: Understanding Your Donor Options

    Recorded

    23 Jul 2025

    Questions about donor eggs are becoming increasingly common, especially among Australian singles and couples beginning their family-building journey. At Growing Families, we’ve supported many families through the complexities of donor IVF—locally and abroad. This guide covers key considerations, cost differences, regulations, and program types to help you make an informed choice.

    Did you know…

    • Not all clinics give you the donor you chose — even if you think they did?
    • You may be waiting years for an Australian donor… unless you know a shortcut.
    • Some clinics offer “guaranteed baby” programs — while others charge high and deliver little.
    • There are four types of donors, and not all are created equal.
    • You might be paying thousands more than you need to.
