JOY Law: Australian surrogacy laws explained

Kris and Monica talk to Jacq and Dene about surrogacy in Australia: what it is, how it works and the legal process in Australia.

We chat about:

• forms of surrogacy
• intended parents and who gets named as parents on the child’s birth certificate
• commercial versus altruistic surrogacy
• agreements and State-by-State legislation
• finding a surrogate in Australia and getting support if you are thinking of starting a family.

The team from KHQ Lawyers join Rach, Jacq and Dene for ‘JOY Law’, a regular segment where we discuss legal issues of interest to the LGBTI and ally community.

Join the team each Tuesday at 4.45pm on JOY 94.9 to learn more about:

• family law advice for rainbow families
• surrogacy
• sperm and egg donation agreements
• adoption and co-parenting
• estate planning
• succession planning, and
• taxation.
