At Oasis Fertility Centre in Perth, we believe in the power of generosity and the hope it brings to those on their fertility journey. Our Donor Program is designed to connect generous individuals with those in need, offering the priceless gift of life through egg donation.
Many people need egg donation to help them complete their family. As a donor you give people that chance, a truly generous act that can provide immeasurable value to others. We understand that this decision is significant and can involve both emotional and physical considerations.

In Western Australia, donors are restricted to a maximum of five families.
The procedure is performed under sedation, in an accredited theatre so you should not feel any pain. You may experience some mild discomfort or cramping afterwards which will be monitored by our medical team.

There are some risks associated with hormone stimulation and the egg retrieval procedure, which will be discussed in detail with the fertility doctors at your consultations.
