We want to support you in expanding your family, so you can worry less about finances and focus more on the joys of being a parent. Intuit’s surrogacy assistance program helps you with eligible expenses associated with lawful surrogacy arrangements. This benefit is taxable income for the recipient.
Intuit reserves the right to make changes or eliminate this program at any time and for any reason.
Eligibility
To participate in the surrogacy assistance program, you must be:
- A regular employee scheduled to work 20+ hours per week
- Employed by Intuit at the time the expenses were incurred, substantiated, and approved
Note: If your spouse/domestic partner works at Intuit, only one of you is eligible to submit expenses for reimbursement.
How it works
How to get started
Intuit will reimburse you up to a total of $30,000 AUD per child/surrogacy and up to a lifetime maximum of $60,000 AUD (for two children/surrogacies, not to exceed $30,000 AUD per child/surrogacy) for qualifying expenses that you have incurred (and are nor otherwise reimbursable) resulting in a fully completed and lawful surrogacy contract through a bona fide agency or unsuccessful surrogacy.
A fully completed surrogacy contract is one that results in you being recognized as the parent of a child on a birth certificate, court order of adoption, or post-birth court order recognizing your parental rights under applicable law and does not violate any state, local, or federal laws.
A bona fide surrogacy agency is an established commercial organization or agency with a valid business license that provides surrogacy services including but not limited to consultation, screening and matching process through to the delivery of a child and return-to-home plans.
Note: Australian states make commercial surrogacy illegal. The company does not encourage or condone the use of this benefit for any purpose that would breach local law. You’re encouraged to seek your own legal advice before engaging in surrogacy in Australia and utilizing this benefit.
Reimbursement
To submit a reimbursement request, follow these steps:
- Complete the Surrogacy Assistance Program Reimbursement Request Form within six months of the date of birth, the date in which you assume parental rights of the child, or the date when you are notified of an unsuccessful surrogacy. Be sure to include details surrounding each expense, as well as invoices/receipts and proof of payment.
- Submit the form and supporting documentation to HR Connect.
If further information or documentation is needed, your HR Connect advisor will reach out to you directly.

Any and all decisions related to reimbursement are final and binding.
