Child and Adolescent Health Service Gender Diversity Service
468. Hon Maryka Groenewald to the parliamentary
secretary representing the Minister for Health:
I refer to my
previous question without notice 412 on the Child and Adolescent Health Service
gender diversity service model of care.
(1) Does the CAHS gender diversity service model
of care cite or rely on any or all of the following treatment guidelines:
(a) the Australian
Standards of Care and Treatment Guidelines: For trans and gender diverse
children and adolescents first issued by the Royal Children's Hospital
Melbourne;
(b) the 2017 Endocrine Society guideline or an
earlier version of this; or
(c) the 2022 Standards
of Care for the Health of Transgender and Gender Diverse People, Version 8 from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) or an
earlier version of the standards from WPATH?
(2) Why has the government stated that this model
of care is "internal, for clinical use", when other state health
departments have made this available?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question. The following has been
provided by the Minister for Health.
(1) (a)–(c) Yes.
(2) The listed documents in (1) are formal
publications or published research papers. The CAHS gender diversity service
model of care is an internal operational service delivery document developed
for use by CAHS clinicians.
