What I have done is spoken to the Human Rights Legal Resource Centre in Melbourne. They are going to continue to look into it (although they have limited resources), but they have indicated that one way of getting a 'test case' for them to take on board is to wait for someone to be refused access to IVF on the basis of their police record/child protection check and then go in all guns a'blazing. HRLRC is considering contacting Melbourne IVF in the hope that such a patient would be referred to HRLRC when this happens.
But how likely is it that someone who has done nothing questionable will be refused? Will they REALLY refuse IVF on the basis of old DUI convictions? And if someone is refused because they are a convicted paedophile will blazing guns be effective or appropriate in getting them a baby? If the focus is on crimes against children and crimes of a sexual nature, are we ready to fight for the rights of paedophiles or rapists to have children with AC?

I totally disagree that couples should have to go through this, and i think as a protection policy it is poorly thought-out and will be completely ineffective, but i don't see a test-case due to to refusal being successful unless people are going to be refused for very unrelated or arbitrary reasons, KWIM?
