Parenting & The LGBTIQA+ Community during COVID-19

In this podcast, Rebecca Dahl, Sally Nicholes and Charlotte Wyles of Nicholes Family Lawyers speak with Rodney Chiang-Cruise about his surrogacy and IVF journey as a member of the LGTBIQA+ community and co-parenting his Rainbow family in social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Please note that during this podcast we discuss the Victorian government’s suspension of elective surgeries in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, since recording the podcast, the Federal Government has indicated that certain elective surgeries (including IVF) will be able to recommence as of 25 April 2020.
