Victoria’s public fertility care program and private donor banks??
So me and my partner (both female) are looking at accessing the new vic government fertility program for IUI. which ‘from gp referral to treatment takes up to 12 months’
However the wait list for the public donor bank is approximately 3 years.
Now, you can provide your own sample, either from a known donor or a private donor bank, but it can’t be an international sample - which is what a lot of these banks have. On top of that, the banks I’ve reached out to only allow you to use their donor bank within their own facility.
I guess I’m asking if anyone knows of a private donor bank (in Victoria) that will let us use their donor bank while using the new government program??
Or if anyone has any useful tips or info for us that would be swell too!
Thanks in advance!
