Information and Support for Surrogacy Arrangements
Churchill Fellowship Project - To investigate the risks and benefits for infertile Australian families considering accessing Cross Border Surrogacy

Our director, Narelle Dickinson, was thrilled to be the recipient of a 2015 Churchill Fellowship to investigate the implications and risks to Australian families considering Cross Border Surrogacy. From December 2015, for 7 weeks, she travelled to the USA (Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston), Russia (St Petersburg and Moscow), and India (New Delhi) to visit clinics and other services who assist Australians to undertake surrogacy arrangements. She met with fertility clinic staff, fertility counsellors, surrogacy lawyers, and surrogacy service brokers, to gain a better understanding of what the experience might be like for anyone considering travelling to these locations to seek surrogacy.
