Clinic Donor Counselling
The Process
If you are undertaking donor treatment using a clinic (anonymous) donor, you will need to undertake a minimum of 2 x 50-minute sessions of donor implications counselling. As per ANZICA (Australian and New Zealand Infertility Counsellors' Association) requirements, these sessions will be scheduled at least 2-weeks apart. Further counselling sessions may be necessary if any party requests this, or at the discretion of the counsellor where issues may still require addressing. If you have a partner, they will also need to attend the counselling in full.
At the completion of counselling, your counsellor will prepare a report for your treating clinic. This report will not be provided until the completion of the full counselling process, including any additional sessions required to fulfil the counselling requirements, and until full payment has been received. This report can also be provided to you at your request.
