How are TWEB egg donors recruited for Monash IVF patients?
The egg donors we access donate altruistically – they don’t get paid and provide their eggs as a gift.
The egg donors we access are 21-29 years old.
You can read profiles of the donors to see their different ethnicities, backgrounds and circumstances.
The egg donors we access are rigorously screened to the same standards required in Australia for infectious and genetic diseases, psychiatric and family medical history.
Donor profiles include photos, and non-identifying information including a detailed family medical history.
In keeping with Australian laws, the egg donors we access have had thorough counselling.
The donors have signed consent forms agreeing to have their contact details provided to children (when they turn 18) born from their donation. This meets the requirements of the Assisted Reproductive Treatment Act 2008 (in Victoria) and the NHMRC Ethical guidelines on the Use of ART in Clinical Practice and Research (in other States).[1]
Accessing TWEB donor eggs can take a few months or more. Once you submit and enquiry with us we will send you out a TWEB information pack.
Wherever you are on your journey, one of our supportive nurse enquiry team can help you understand your options and take the next step. These conversations are free and informative.
