    DEEP DIVE: Searching for sperm in a donor 'drought'

    17/04/2026 | 15 mins.
    Australia's 'sperm drought' is prompting people to look online to find a donor. 
    Rather than spend years on a fertility clinic's waiting list, people are increasingly turning to social media and dating-style apps to find a match. 
    But what are the risks of finding a donor online? How can you be sure of their health history (and how many times they're donating)? 
    And, as more single women chose to solo-parent, does something need to change to make legitimate pathways more accessible? 
    In this week's deep dive, we hear from the people donating and looking for sperm online, and find out what's driving Australia's donor shortage.
    Guests: 
    Dr Lynn Burmeister, fertility specialist
    Alisha Burns, founder of The Solo Mum Society
