Donor programs for Fertility Treatment

Overview

Help others to achieve their dream of having a family of their own

Sperm, egg or embryo donation is truly a generous gift of life, and for many couples and individuals this is their only hope of fulfilling their dreams of having a family. We offer a comprehensive and supportive donor program to our patients who require donor sperm or donor eggs in their fertility treatments. Venus Womens Clinic & IVF Centre is a government authorised bank to source quality assured donor samples which are carefully matched to you based on blood type and physical characteristics.
