In 2014, Facebook introduced egg freezing as an employee benefit after one of their employees were diagnosed with cancer. Since then, a range of Silicon Valley companies have introduced the benefit, but we are yet to see it take off in Australia.   Reporter Matt Harvey chats with host Celie Hay about the deeper implications of companies paying to freeze employee’s eggs and Dr Molly Johnston from Monash University shares her research on if Australian companies will start to introduce the benefit.All episodes are written, researched, recorded and produced by students of the RMIT Graduate Diploma in Journalism.Find host Celie Hay on twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/celie_hay?lang=en">@celie_hay</a> Find reporter Matt Harvey on twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/mattharveystuff?lang=en">@MattHarveyStuff</a> Find producer Jaci Hicken on twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/jacican">@jacican</a> --- Find The Kicker on twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/kickerpod?lang=en">@kickerpod</a> Find The Kicker on instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thekicker.pod/?hl=en">@thekicker.pod</a> Find series producer James Gaunt on twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/jamesrgaunt">@jamesrgaunt</a> Find series producer Ryland Sack on twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/rysack?lang=en">@rysack</a> --- Original music: <a href="https://twitter.com/rysack?lang=en">@rysack</a>
