As more countries retreat from affirmation therapy for gender dysphoric children due to the large body of emerging evidence of extreme adverse effects, NSW’s newly elected Premier has promised legislation which has the potential to mandate affirmation therapy for confused children, supporting them in taking steps to ‘transition’ despite global evidence of the harm caused by this approach.

Senior physicians at the Westmead gender clinic in NSW’s Children Hospital are questioning this affirmation model. Their findings cast doubt on any scientific basis for the gender-affirming approach followed by the nation’s other children’s hospitals.

Voices calling for a federal inquiry into this practice are increasing. Medical practitioners such as Professor Philip Morris, President of the National Association of Practising Psychiatrists, are calling for a national inquiry. But right now, NSW has an opportunity to lead the way.

Join us in asking Premier Minns to take heed of the warnings from his own State's medical practitioners and initiate an inquiry into the use of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgery on gender confused children BEFORE introducing any conversion legislation in NSW.

Please sign our petition to call for an inquiry now.

The Australian Christian Lobby has raised concerns over the age-appropriateness of promoting WorldPride to children aged 3+ in Sydney’s Northern Beaches’ libraries.

Huge questions are again being raised regarding the practice of affirmation therapy for children suffering from gender distress and gender dysphoria, this time by senior physicians at the Westmead gender clinic in NSW’s Children Hospital.

Today’s announcement from NSW Opposition Leader Chris Minns that he would ban conversion practices if elected will be met with concern from parents with children experiencing unwanted gender dysphoria.

The Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Bill 2022 was introduced by Attorney General, Shannon Fentiman, on the last Parliamentary sitting day of last year. Then, public submissions closed on 11 January, allowing the minimum of exposure.

The Queensland Government’s proposed new Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Bill 2022 which would allow the falsifying of legal documents is being widely criticised for its inevitable serious consequences including identification problems for courts and government departments.

The Australian Christian Lobby today has called on the McGowan Government to ensure that its proposed LGBT conversion laws do not prevent doctors, psychologist and counsellors and faith groups from providing patient led, evidence based, proven therapy for people struggling with their sexual orientation or gender identity.

The story of yet another young Australian man falling victim to swift progression through gender affirmation therapy strikes at the heart of the current debate in Tasmania over the Tasmanian Law Reform Institute (TLRI) report which recommends the very treatment that has left Ollie Davies sterilized, and his partner devastated.

Reports of distraught parents facing prosecution under Victorian law for failing to agree to potentially harmful treatments for their children including chest-binding, hormone blockers and sex-change surgery should sound alarm bells for Tasmanian parents. The Tasmanian government is currently considering recommendations from the Tasmanian Law Reform Institute for similar ‘conversion therapy’ legislation.

The news that parents in Victoria are distraught and facing prosecutions because of the Victorian laws which prohibit proper counselling for gender confused children must cause the Tasmanian Government to reject the Tasmanian Law Reform Institute’s recommendations for similar laws in Tasmania.
