5DA Rule relating to parentage – female de facto partners
(1)
Where a woman who is the de facto partner of another woman undergoes, with the consent of the other woman, a fertilization procedure as a result of which she becomes pregnant, the other woman is taken to be a parent of:
(a)
the unborn child; and
(b)
a child born as a result of the pregnancy.

In a proceeding in which the operation of subsection (1) is relevant, a woman's consent to the carrying out of a fertilzation procedure in respect of her de facto partner is to be presumed, but that presumption is rebuttable.
