Review of Surrogacy Act 2010

The NSW Attorney General is reviewing the Surrogacy Act 2010 pursuant to section 60 of the Act. The purpose of the review is to determine whether the policy objectives of the Surrogacy Act 2010 remain valid and whether the terms of the Act remain appropriate for securing those objectives.

The policy objectives of the Surrogacy Act 2010 are to:

• protect the interests of children born as a result of surrogacy arrangements;
• provide legal certainty for parties to surrogacy arrangements, and
• prevent the commercialisation of human reproduction.

The Act can be viewed at the NSW legislation website. The Department of Justice invited interested individuals and organisations to make written submissions to the review. Submissions are now closed.
