What we offer?

Overseas Donor Oocyte (Egg) Options

  • Readily available choice of overseas donor oocytes, with our sister clinics in Greece, South Africa
  • Fully coordinated, support treatment programme with Donor Eggs Australia’s donor coordinators and our chosen overseas clinics
  • The Donor Egg Service represents the coordinated combined medical management of the overseas clinic’s medical specialists with Dr Bernstein.

The treatment that occurs overseas is governed by the local laws of that country. Unlike Australia, different countries have different legislation when it comes to gamete (egg) donors and in most of them Non-Identifiable donors are the only legal option. All treatment occurs outside Australia, in the respective countries and under the guidance and medical care of the associated clinic's doctors. We provide assistance in helping patients to co-ordinate their efforts overseas.

Despite the differences between Australia and Overseas we aim to follow the Australian guidelines for testing and counselling in addition to fulfilling their specific requirements.

Donor are not paid for eggs but receive remuneration for time and effort. The amount is specified by the Governments in both Greece and South Africa. So the donation is altruistic. Eggs are not sold.
