Rainbow Fertility has spent a decade building a safe, LGBTQ+-inclusive space for fertility care in Brisbane — and its clinical director says the need keeps growing.
Stephen Page, fertility lawyer and accredited family law specialist at Page Provan, talks with Dr Andy Stamatiou , clinical director of Rainbow Fertility (City Fertility), recorded live at the Fertility Society of Australia and New Zealand conference in Canberra.
In this video:

How demand grew five-fold once a dedicated, welcoming space was created — including from the trans and non-binary community
Why Rainbow Fertility is building new dedicated rooms at Newstead in Brisbane after losing its original space at Watkins Medical Centre
Responding to criticism that the initiative was "just tokenism," and why treating every patient with respect shouldn't be controversial
Why many in the LGBTQ+ community still don't realise which fertility treatments and pathways to parenthood are legally available to them in Australia
