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.
Legal Fund
The LGBTI Legal Service has been providing legal support to children and families impacted by this ban.
We have also led a legal challenge of the ban in the Supreme Court. This legal challenge is a massive undertaking and has greatly increased staff and volunteer hours.
We are fundraising to help cover legal expenses for the LGBTI Legal Serivces’s legal defence of gender affirming care.
