Assisted reproductive treatment legislation
There is legislation which governs the practice and provision of assisted reproductive treatment (ART) in South Australia. The Minister for Health and Wellbeing is responsible for overseeing this legislation.
The Act that governs the provision of assisted reproductive treatment is the Assisted Reproductive Treatment Act 1988, which operates in conjunction with the Assisted Reproductive Treatment Regulations 2024.
The Act also establishes the South Australian Donor Conception Register.
Other relevant legislation
Other legislation relevant to assisted reproductive treatment in South Australia includes the:
- Family Relationships Act 1975
- Surrogacy Act 2019
- Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Act 1996
- Research Involving Human Embryos Act 2002 - deals with the use of excess ART embryos
Legislation in other Australian jurisdictions
There is no Commonwealth legislation in respect of ART practice. States and territories without specific legislation rely on the Reproductive Technology Accreditation Committee accreditation scheme which sets standards for practice and requires compliance with the National Health and Medical Research Council’s Ethical Guidelines on the use of assisted reproductive technology in clinical practice and research.
