In an effort to reduce the average year-long patient waiting period for donor eggs from our Australian egg donor bank, City Fertility has recently formed a partnership with The World Egg Bank.
Dr Neil Astill, Medical Director at City Fertility Brisbane Southside, said for some people waiting up to a year for an egg donor is just too long due to advancing age and declining fertility.
“As a woman ages, the quality of her eggs is reduced. For the infertile woman over 40, the chance of a successful IVF pregnancy and live birth is substantially reduced when using her own eggs and this is one of the many reasons driving demand for donor eggs,” said Dr Astill.

The 25th July is recognised as World Embryologist Day, the same special date as the world’s first IVF baby being born.
Embryologists play a critical role in an IVF clinic – they are the scientific staff who help make babies happen, literally creating life in their hands. They are sometimes referred to as the ‘caretakers’ of a patient’s sperm, eggs or embryos because they are the nurturers of this new start of life.
As of 8th July 2020, Victorians undergoing Assisted Reproductive Treatment (ART) are no longer required to obtain and complete police and child protection order checks before accessing treatment. This change takes place with immediate effect.
