Australia reviews puberty blocker prescriptions for minors nationwide
The Queensland government has suspended the prescription of puberty blockers for new patients under 18, citing safety concerns and the need for further review on the treatment of gender dysphoria in minors. This decision has drawn criticism from LGBTQI advocates and the national sex discrimination commissioner, who argue it could harm the mental and physical health of young people awaiting care. Meanwhile, Health Minister Mark Butler has initiated a federal review to establish new national guidelines to replace state-specific regulations. In contrast, in Wales, a politician has claimed that a similar ban on puberty blockers is unlawful, arguing that the Welsh government failed to assess the impact on affected children. Both regions reflect a growing tension surrounding the treatment of transgender minors, with advocates emphasizing the importance of timely access to medical care. As discussions continue, the debate over the balance between safety and access to treatment remains heated and unresolved.
