The head of the Australian Medical Association’s Queensland branch says the state must listen to doctors ahead of it own “ideological views”, after the government moved to block new child patients from accessing puberty blockers and other transgender hormone therapies.
The health minister, Tim Nicholls, announced the temporary ban on Tuesday, saying potential governance issues at a Cairns clinic had raised “concerns about paediatric gender therapies state-wide”.
