Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2019-07-04.
This bill would require fertility clinics to report their performance data to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, which would then publish the information for each clinic.
The data published would include numbers of women treated, treatments received, patient ages, clinical pregnancies, and live births, with the AIHW deciding how to present the information, ideally as a searchable online database.
The bill would take effect the day after it receives Royal Assent.
- Requires accredited ART centres to report their performance statistics to the AIHW.
- Requires the AIHW to publish clinic-specific performance statistics.
- Allows consumers to compare clinic outcomes, similar to existing registers in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Fertility clinics (accredited ART centres), consumers using fertility services, and the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.
