The Issues Paper introduces our inquiry and explains what we have been asked to do. It provides a brief overview of surrogacy laws in Australia. 

The Issues Paper also sets out some principles we may use to guide reform and lists some reform issues that appear to be a high priority. We are interested to know your thoughts about these principles or issues, or any other principles or issues you want us to consider. 

There are 27 questions in the Issues Paper that you may wish to answer. We are asking these questions to help us identify the issues or problems that we should examine and to help us develop ideas for reform. You do not need to answer all of the questions.  

You are also welcome to comment on any other matters mentioned in the Terms of Reference.
