Review of Surrogacy Laws: Discussion Paper (2025)

This Discussion Paper builds on the conversation started in the Issues Paper. It outlines options to improve how surrogacy is regulated in Australia and asks for your thoughts to help us refine these options. You can tell us what you think by making a submission. 

The feedback that we receive to this Discussion Paper will help us make recommendations for the Final Report. 

There are 41 proposals and 24 questions in the Discussion Paper. These cover a wide range of issues. You do not need to respond to every proposal or question if you do not wish to. You can tell us about what is most important to you.  

You are also welcome to comment on parts of our Terms of Reference, without using the proposals or questions in this Paper.  

Submissions can be made through our website, and will remain open until Friday 19 December 2025.
