Form and content of consent
29 Form and content of consent
A gamete provider’s consent to the use of their gametes must be in writing and state—
the number of families in relation to which the gametes may be used in the provision of ART treatment; and
the kinds of ART treatment for which the gametes may be used; and
the period for which the gametes may be stored.
A gamete provider must give their consent to the ART provider obtaining or proposing to obtain their gamete.
A gamete provider’s consent must not limit use of a gamete in the provision of ART treatment to a person because of any protected attribute of the person.
Example
A gamete provider must not state that their gamete may be used only in the provision of ART treatment to a married person as relationship status is a protected attribute.
A regulation may prescribe other requirements in relation to consent of gamete providers.
