An unknown donor is a person who donates eggs, sperm, or embryos through a licensed fertility clinic and has no pre-existing relationship with the recipient or intended parent(s). Unlike a known donor, an unknown donor is not personally known to the individuals receiving treatment and is recruited, screened, and approved through a formal donor program. In Western Australia, all donations are altruistic, meaning donors are not paid for their donation, aside from the reimbursement of approved expenses.
In Western Australia, all unknown donors undergo comprehensive medical, genetic, and psychological screening to help ensure their suitability for donation and the health and wellbeing of any children born through donor conception. Donors are also required to provide detailed information about their medical history, family background, education, interests, and personal characteristics, which may assist recipients in selecting a donor.
Importantly, donor conception in Western Australia is not anonymous. Information about donors is recorded in accordance with state legislation, and donor-conceived people may be able to access identifying information about their donor once they reach the appropriate age and meet the relevant legal requirements. This framework recognises the importance of a donor-conceived person's right to understand their genetic origins.
At Oasis, we take a holistic approach to donor eligibility, considering medical, genetic, psychological, and personal factors to ensure the best outcomes for donors, recipients, and any children born through donation. We welcome individuals who meet the following criteria:
• Aged 21–39 years for sperm donation
• Aged 21–35 years for egg donation
• In good physical and mental health
• Free from known significant genetic or hereditary conditions
• Non-smokers who are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle
• Willing to undergo comprehensive medical and genetic screening
• Willing to complete the mandatory donor implications counselling (2 sessions)
• Have not previously donated through another fertility clinic or donor program
• Willing to comply with Western Australia's legislated limit of five recipient families worldwide
• Consent to the release of non-identifying personal and medical information to recipients to support informed decision making
For many individuals and couples, donor sperm provides an essential pathway to parenthood. By becoming a sperm donor, you have the opportunity to support people on one of the most meaningful journeys of their lives and help create opportunities for families to grow.
We understand that donation is a significant decision, and we are committed to ensuring a respectful, supportive, and confidential experience for all donors. Our comprehensive screening process includes medical assessment, genetic screening, infectious disease testing, and semen analysis to ensure the highest standards of safety and care for both donors and recipients.
Every donation has the potential to make a profound difference for patients who may otherwise be unable to conceive. Whether supporting individuals facing infertility, single people pursuing parenthood, or LGBTQ+ families, donors play a vital role in helping others achieve their family-building goals.
Our experienced donor team will guide you through each stage of the process, providing clear information and ongoing support. Eligible donors may receive compensation for their time and commitment, in accordance with local regulations.

For many individuals and couples, egg donation provides a valuable pathway to parenthood when other options are not possible. By choosing to become an egg donor, you have the opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of people who dream of having a family. Your generosity can offer hope and the possibility of parenthood to those facing infertility, premature ovarian insufficiency, medical conditions, genetic concerns, or social circumstances that prevent them from conceiving with their own eggs.
The decision to donate eggs is an extraordinary act of generosity. While recipients may never have imagined needing the help of an egg donor to build their family, your donation can provide an opportunity that would otherwise not exist. For many, egg donation represents the chance to experience pregnancy, childbirth, and the lifelong joy of raising a child. The impact of your decision can extend far beyond a single treatment cycle, creating a legacy that may be felt by families for generations to come.
We recognise that donating your eggs is a deeply personal decision that involves both emotional and physical considerations. Our compassionate and experienced team is committed to supporting you throughout every stage of the process, ensuring you have access to the information, guidance, and care you need to make the decision that is right for you.
Throughout the donation journey, you will be cared for by a dedicated team of fertility specialists, nurses, counsellors, and donor coordinators who are committed to your wellbeing. We believe that informed decision-making is essential, and we encourage prospective donors to take the time to fully understand the process, ask questions, and consider the important role they may play in helping others achieve their dream of parenthood.

For many individuals and couples, embryo donation provides a precious opportunity to build a family when other pathways to parenthood are not possible. By choosing to donate your embryos, you are offering an extraordinary gift—one that has the potential to change the course of another person's life and help create a family that may not otherwise have been possible.
Embryo donation is a deeply significant decision. For many donors, embryos represent hope, possibility, and an important chapter in their own fertility journey. The choice to donate them reflects remarkable generosity, compassion, and consideration for others who may be facing infertility, medical conditions, genetic concerns, or social circumstances that prevent them from having a child without the help of donated embryos.
Those who choose to become embryo donors often share a desire to ensure that their remaining embryos have the opportunity to help another family experience the joy of parenthood. It is a selfless act that can provide hope during a time of uncertainty and offer recipients the chance to experience pregnancy, childbirth, and the lifelong experience of raising a child.
We recognise that embryo donation involves complex emotional, ethical, and practical considerations. It is a decision that deserves careful thought, reflection, and support. Our compassionate and experienced team is committed to providing guidance throughout every stage of the process, ensuring you have access to clear information, professional counselling, and personalised care to help you make the decision that feels right for you and your family.
Your Journey:
• Initial consultation with the donor team
• Medical screening (often partially completed prior to the creation of the Embryos)
• Counselling and consent
• Final consultation and documentation
If you have embryos stored at another clinic and are considering donation, we would welcome the opportunity to hear from you. Embryo donation may be possible through a facilitated process, and our team can guide you through the relevant steps, requirements, and coordination involved.
This is what better feels like.
CLEARER. CALMER. MORE HUMAN.
