Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2019-04-03.
The bill would require fertility clinics to send performance data to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, which would then make that information public.
The AIHW would decide how to publish the data, ideally as a searchable online database, and the information would include numbers of women treated, treatments received, patient ages, clinical pregnancies and live births.
The bill would start the day after it receives royal assent.
- Requires accredited ART centres to report performance statistics to the AIHW.
- Requires the AIHW to publish clinic-specific performance statistics.
- Provides consumers with information to compare fertility clinic performance.
Accredited assisted reproductive technology centres (fertility clinics) and consumers seeking fertility treatment.
