Illustration for Human Assisted Reproductive Technology Act 2004

If you are a provider of human assisted reproductive technology, you must have a system in place to find out about the births of children born using donated eggs, sperm or embryos. You need to know when a child is born using donor material so you can keep track of them. This means you must be able to get information about the births of these children at all times.
