In an Australian first, Victoria has opened its first free public egg and sperm bank, making it easier for hopeful parents to start a family. But fertility experts say the government's donation targets are "ambitious" with altruistic donors typically difficult to recruit.

Australia has opened its first free public egg and sperm bank in Victoria in what a fertility expert has described as an “ambitious” bid to reduce barriers to starting a family.

The bank at the Royal Women’s Hospital has begun accepting egg and sperm donations from eligible Victorians.
