How does surrogacy work in Australia?

September 30, 2026 · 23 min

Show notes

Surrogacy is a controversial topic, with headlines regularly sparked by Hollywood stars like Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, and most recently Lena Dunham, opting to build their families this way. Today, Myf talks to Sally, who shares her experience as an "altruistic surrogate" here in Australia, where the rules differ significantly from the US as surrogates here can't be paid for the arrangement. Sally walks us through her incredible journey helping her best friend have a child of their own, and all the ups, downs and paperwork that come with the surrogacy process.


*Hosted by the queen of culture herself, *The Moment with Myf Warhurst* unpacks ‘The Moment’ that has everyone talking, diving deeper than the headlines to give the details you need in the time you’ve got.
