💥 We’ve taken a stand today. Because children’s safety isn’t negotiable.
We’ve sent an open letter to Minister Mark Butler calling for the immediate suspension of the NHMRC’s guideline process on “gender care” for minors and for a full, transparent inquiry instead.
The evidence is clear. Other nations have already pulled back. The UK. Sweden. Finland. The US. New Zealand. All have recognised the risks and stepped away from the “affirmation-first” model. Australia cannot afford to look the other way.
We’re speaking up because kids deserve ethical evidence based clinical care not ideology, not shortcuts, not a system that rushes vulnerable young people into life-altering medical pathways with weak evidence and no long-term safety data.
Nurses know what harm looks like. Doctors know what safe practice requires.
And right now? The system is failing both.
