‘Outrageous’: Same-sex couples still banned from surrogacy in WA

Growing Families Australia Director Sam Everington says it’s “outrageous” that same-sex couples are still prohibited from applying for surrogacy in Western Australia. It’s the only state in Australia which bans male same-sex couples from using surrogacy. “It goes against federal and discrimination laws clearly,” Mr Everington told Sky News Australia. “We see that it’s outrageous that that ban is still in place, which is basically forcing that part of the population to go offshore to have their family. “It’s just not fair.”
