Wish for a Baby Melbourne

Wish for a Baby Melbourne is an annual public and professional expo dedicated to fertility, reproductive health, and alternative paths to parenthood. Held at the centrally located Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne, the event takes place during the Australian spring – specifically in November – and serves as a meeting point for individuals and couples exploring their family-building options. The event is organised by Five Senses Media Ltd, an internationally experienced event organiser that successfully hosts similar exhibitions in major cities around the world.

What sets Wish for a Baby Melbourne apart is its holistic approach. The event addresses not only medical options such as IVF, ICSI, egg and sperm donation, and surrogacy, but also explores the legal frameworks, ethical considerations, and emotional support related to the fertility journey. Visitors can look forward to a diverse programme featuring more than 20 high-quality lectures, workshops, and personal testimonials – delivered by doctors, lawyers, psychologists, counsellors, parents, and individuals who openly share their own fertility experiences. This makes the event not only informative but also deeply personal and moving.

The exhibition showcases modern services and products from the fields of reproductive medicine, fertility diagnostics, egg and sperm banks, international surrogacy, social freezing, alternative therapies, and legal counselling. The offering is further enriched by specialised agencies, support groups, and organisations that assist with foster care, adoption, and family building for single individuals and LGBTQ+ communities. The inclusive nature of the event reflects the rich diversity of Australian society.

Exhibitors from around the globe represent a wide range of sectors – from fertility clinics and biotech laboratories to psychological associations and law firms specialising in family law. The event targets couples, singles, and rainbow families, as well as medical professionals, counsellors, ethicists, and stakeholders from the healthcare and policy sectors.

Wish for a Baby Melbourne is part of a well-established international exhibition series that connects people with fertility aspirations worldwide, offering access to cutting-edge reproductive medicine and emotional support.

The venue – the historic Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne – is located in the heart of the city, just a short walk from Flinders Street Station and easily accessible by public transport. Its elegant atmosphere provides the ideal setting for personal conversations, knowledge exchange, and new perspectives on the path to building a family.

The Wish for a Baby will take place on Sunday, 19. April 2026 in Melbourne.
