'Government announces federal review into gender-affirming healthcare for young people
Health Minister Mark Butler has announced a review into gender-affirming care for trans and gender-diverse children, including the use of puberty blockers.
'Australia's peak medical body will review the health care provided to transgender and gender-diverse children as the federal government attempts to stall the banning of puberty blockers in some parts of the country.

The review, led by the National Health and Medical Research Council, will examine aspects of children's gender-affirming care including the use of puberty blockers, Health Minister Mark Butler announced on Friday.

"It is imperative there is community confidence that Australian children, adolescents and their families are receiving the most appropriate care," he said.

Butler said he has tasked the council with developing new guidelines for trans healthcare, in an area the council has described as "contested and evolving".

Guidelines on the use of puberty blockers will be completed by mid-2026, with other advice not yet given a completion date.'

Some ripples spreading from Washington, then. Plenty of need for it in Australia.

Ah I just came here to post this.

Excellent news, I was worried we were going to take 10 years to consider we might need to do something about it, similarly to vehicle emissions laws.

Gosh I hope it's not a waste of time.
May they find a lead of Cass' calibre.

Too fast for it to be Washington. I’d say it’s Cass.
