Queensland bans public gender clinics initiating puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to under-18s
Minister for Health Tim Nicholls announced the ban today, with immediate effect.
Public hospitals in Queensland have been banned from initiating puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to under-18s amid concerns about prescribing practices in one of the state’s gender clinics.
The move is meant to allow for a wider review into the treatment protocols for gender dysphoria in children and adolescents.
