Health Law

Health Law Central is an accessible internet resource that provides information about key areas of health law relevant to people at all stages of life. It is also a place to engage with ethical, social, legal and human rights issues relevant to human health, and a place to think about broader societal debate on health law matters. It lists information on assisted reproduction, laws governing donor conception and surrogacy across Australian states and territories and covers laws in many countries globally.
