The NSW government plans to change IVF law to ensure the rights of donors and donor-conceived children are better protected.

The change comes after sustained lobbying by mother Natalie Parker, who believes she was misled by the woman to whom she donated two embryos.

Health Minister Brad Hazzard wrote to Ms Parker last month advising her the government would seek to amend the Assisted Reproductive Technology Act to improve the information about donors and donor-conceived children kept on the Central Register.

Mr Hazzard said the proposed amendments follow a NSW Health review of the ART Act. This review was sparked by Fairfax Media revelations of Ms Parker's case. Mr Hazzard said the review identified "a number of areas for improvement" to the act. A spokeswoman for NSW Health said the government expects to introduce into Parliament the changes to the act in the second half of this year.
