36 Legal advice must have been obtained
(1) Each of the affected parties must have received legal advice from an
Australian legal practitioner about the surrogacy arrangement and its
implications before entering into the surrogacy arrangement.
(2) The legal
advice obtained by the birth mother and the birth mother's partner (if any)
must have been obtained from an Australian legal practitioner who is
independent of the Australian legal practitioner who provided legal advice
about the surrogacy arrangement to the applicant or applicants.
