The History of Donor Conception Records in Victoria

In this report, we begin with a brief socio-legal history of donor conception in the State of Victoria. Then, in subsequent chapters based on case studies of the three hospital sites, we trace what information was collected about donors pre-1988, how it was recorded and managed, where the records were stored, and where those records are currently located. We also provide a brief history of the sites, noting name and location changes, amalgamations and closures. The report was supported by the Victorian Government.
