Am I Eligible to Become a Sperm Donor?

Men of all ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds can become sperm donors. This includes men of different heights and shapes, as long as you meet the criteria below:

• You are between 18 and 45 years of age (21 to 45 in Victoria).

• Clinic-recruited donors must have a permanent address and be contactable for follow-up screening. They must be able to provide three identifiers and proof of permanent address, e.g. driver’s licence, photo ID or passport. They must also have a current Medicare card. Clinic-recruited sperm donors with student, working holiday or temporary working visas will not be accepted to the program. Donors with temporary resident visas may be accepted to the program if they can provide evidence of the above requirements.

• You are in good health and have no history of hereditary disease. Donors will not be accepted if they suffer from an illness, disease or genetic condition that poses an unacceptable risk of being passed on to any child conceived from the donation.

• You can provide a family medical history.

• You have a low risk for sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS.
• You have not reached the total family limit as per state legislation/regulations.
