Fertility Week 2022 - Healthy Sperm, Healthy Baby

When it comes to making a baby, healthy sperm is important. It boosts the chance of a pregnancy and reduces the risk of miscarriage and health problems for a baby. So, from 10 – 16 October, we’re focusing on what men and gender-diverse people can do to protect their fertility and improve it if they want to become a parent one day. To help men understand factors that affect their fertility, we have teamed up with Melbourne comedian Michael Shafar to create educational videos for men. Fertility Week 2022 talks about: Sexually transmitted infections that can block sperm tubes; The male biological clock; Which drugs and alcohol affect sperm; Chemicals that affect fertility; The link between weight, erections and infertility; and Why you should think twice about hot spas and baths if you’re trying for a baby. Our campaign is all about engaging Australians who want to be a parent now or in future, so they can maximise their chance of a healthy child when the time is right for them.
