Women shut out: Inside WA’s surrogacy overhaul

The AAWAA Women’s Advocate · Oct 5, 2025 · 11m

Emma hosts Amber and Martine to unpack Western Australia’s surrogacy ‘reform’: how an industry‑led process sidelined women’s voices, abolished ex‑ante safeguards, and bundled ART with surrogacy to fast‑track a market‑friendly law. Amber lays out the process failures and what the Bill changes; Martine maps the advocacy strategy in the Council—committee referral, reinstating pre‑conception approvals, raising surrogate protections, and splitting ART from surrogacy—so lawmakers can restore scrutiny and protect women and girls.
