Victoria may soon be the first state to give all donor-conceived people access to information about their heritage, in a move doctors say would be "unfair" to men who donated sperm on the condition of anonymity.

New laws to be introduced by the Andrews government will give all people born through sperm donations the right to obtain details about their biological parent, such as their donor's full name, date of birth, marital status or address.

At present, access to information depends on when you were born. Children born after 1998 can get information about their biological parent because their donors were required to consent to it being released, while those born between 1988 and 1997 also have the right to identifying information, provided the donor agrees.

However, those born before 1988 grew up without having the same rights - their only option was to put themselves on a voluntary register and hope their donor did the same.
