Some donor-conceived people want to know as much as they can about their donor and any potential half-siblings. They may be interested to learn more about medical history or genetic conditions, cultural background, personality and appearance, hobbies and interests. Some donor-conceived people are also interested in meeting people with whom they are connected as a result of donor treatment, including donors and half-siblings. This process is known as donor linking.

In Victoria, donor-conceived people have the right to receive information about their donor, if the records are available. Contact VARTA to discuss your options or make an application to the Central Register or the Voluntary Register. VARTA staff can provide information and support about applying to the donor conception registers and what is involved in an early exchange of information or contact between parties.
