Hi there,
I'm a Victorian lesbian, currently 12 weeks pregnant. We conceived at home using fresh sperm from a known donor so managed to bypass all the ridiculous laws.
The good news for you is that the law in Victoria is going to change sometime this year to allow lesbians and single women to access reproductive technology including IUI & IVF. It won't, however, be available on Medicare. The not-so-good news is that there is a pretty serious shortage of donor sperm available though I hear that it's possible to import sperm from overseas - obviously though, that will cost more.
The other good news is that the law changes later this year will mean that both mothers can be included on the birth certificate which gives the non-bio mum all the legal protections that fathers have always had.
Overall, it's good news.
Good Luck!
