Hi

There was a thread about this recently: http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=619293

The thread was asking about cord blood storage in Sydney, but there are some useful links for private companies who deal with this.

Hey thanks for that. Didnt think to do a search dooh.

we did it.. although we did it in London.
now in Bris, cord blood is still in the UK.

From memory there was an Org in Canberra which was able to arrange something, although like the UK you (personally) will have to arrange the kit, draw the blood, etc
You never know when you might need all the help you can get, although application of the tech is still in it's infancy.

go for it.

Ask your Obstetrician, they will give you any information and organise the paperwork for cord blood storage etc. My youngest needed some genetic testing done which was done with cord blood, then there wasn't enough left to store. My doctor organised everything for me before the birth.
