Gender Affirming Care
Recently the Queensland Government implemented measures which restrict access to gender-affirming care for children throughout the state.
This decision will leave children across Queensland unable to access medically necessary care, which has been demonstrated to greatly improve their health, wellbeing and safety.
Access to these vital treatments should be available to everyone who requires them.
Getting help
If you or a loved one has been impacted by this decision, or you find yourself unable to access gender-affirming care, please contact LGBTI Legal Service for free legal advice.
There has been a large response from those impacted so we are developing a special clinic for this issue. You may have to wait up to a few weeks to receive advice.
