Surrogacy in Australia

In this article:

Legislation

Surrogacy in Australia is legal only on a non-profit basis. The commercialization of this area of medicine is a criminal offense.

Neither the surrogate mother nor the married couple are legally protected in any way. If the girl changes her mind about giving the newborn, the biological parents will be left with nothing.

There are no fertility treatment programs that guarantee a successful IVF outcome. It means that for each subsequent IVF atempt, the married couple will have to pay, as а result, a considerable amount accumulates, which is too much for many.

Australian doctors asked Australian government to legalize commercial format of surrogacy. Doctors reasoned their request as follows: conditions for carrying pregnancy and childbirth on the continent are many times better than in foreign countries, where Australians go to treat infertility.

Australian women are reluctant to become surrogate mothers, so infertile couples leave the continent for other countries where such technology is controlled by law.
Surrogacy on the continent is available to gay couples (except in Western Australia, where only heterosexual couples can use surrogacy services). In South and Western Australia, same-sex couples are allowed to adopt children.

Finding a surrogate who agrees to carry a baby for а couple in Australia for free is а difficult task, so couples go to countries where it is legal. Ukraine is one of the countries where practically all methods of such treatment are legal. A big number of agencies operate in Ukraine, including VittoriaVita.
VittoriaVita offers individualized fertility treatment programs for € 36,000-50,000.

Why is Ukraine recognized as the leader of surrogacy services in the world?

EReproductive technologies are developing rapidly in Ukraine. Ukraine is the gestational surrogacy center and couples come here to become parents from all over the world .

Let’s list the important reasons why Ukraine is considered the infertility treatment leader between the other countries:

Legality

Surrogacy motherhood is a legal method of treating infertility in Ukraine. Such method is clearly regulated at the legislative level. The law does not reduce the financial remuneration for a surrogate. The rights of a surrogate, biological parents and a newborn are protected by law.

High level of medicine

The quality of medicine is provided by reproductive centers to patients is strictly controlled at the legislative level. Medical institutions which have the appropriate accreditation also have the right to treat infertility.
International conferences are held annually in Ukraine to exchange experience in this field with foreign partners.

Affordable price of fertility treatment programs

Fertility treatment programs in Ukraine are several times cheaper than, for example, in the USA. Treatment here is much cheaper for foreign couples than in Europe and the USA, including the flights and associated costs.

Registration of baby’s documents

The final cost includes the preparation of the papers for the newborn, including papers for the embassy (if we are talking about foreign families). Parents don’t have to adopt a baby, their names are entered in the birth certificate.

Big number of fertility clinics

A big amount of infertility clinics work in Ukraine, most of which have joined the Ukrainian Association of Reproductive Medicine. These clinics offer comprehensive fertility treatment programs depending on the clients’ diagnosis. They also have their own databases for surrogate and germ cell donors.
