Why is surrogacy illegal in Australia?

By Andrea Rodrigo (embryologist).
Last Update: 04/10/2018

This is not true. Surrogacy is legal in Australia, although legislation varies by State. However, it is true that commercial surrogacy is illegal. Only altruistic surrogacy arrangements are allowed, irrespective of the State.
