The Allan government said a 2010 Supreme Court ruling provided a pathway for prisoners to access fertility treatment while serving a jail term.

It said prisoners who pursue treatment are required to privately fund their care, including transport and escort costs.

Shadow Corrections Minister Brad Battin said Schiller was not suitable to be a mother while serving a murder sentence.

“In what world would this convicted killer be seen as a suitable mother while still in prison serving a lengthy sentence for stabbing someone over a $50 debt?” Battin said.

Victorian Corrections Minister Enver Erdogan said the decision raised questions about the appropriate access to health services in prison.

“I think about what appropriate medical care is an the broader welfare ethical questions which are good questions the medical provider needs to consider,” he said.

The Victims of Crime Commissioner told 9News it does not comment on individual matters.
