Queensland Health family limits — why lesbian couples using donor sperm are being counted as two separate families, not one.
Stephen Page, Fertility lawyer and accredited family law specialist at Page Provan, breaks down a growing controversy in Queensland over how donor sperm family limits are applied to lesbian couples.
In this episode:
- Why Queensland Health is treating married and de facto lesbian couples as separate "families" under donor sperm limits
- How this compares to New South Wales, where a 5-family cap has driven donor sperm costs from $2,000 to $60,000
- What the Assisted Reproductive Technology Act 2024 (Qld) s25 actually says about who counts as a "family"
- Why the Family Law Act and Status of Children Act already recognise both partners as legal parents
- What affected couples can do, and why this needs to be fixed by the Queensland Health Minister
