All states and territories in
Australia have some legislation covering
correction of birth certificates.
Most require at least two letters to certify that you have undergone
irreversible treatment as part of
your sex affirmation. One of these is can be
chest reconstructive surgery which can be
certified by your surgeon. The other
irreversible procedure can be testosterone
hormone treatment which can be certified by
your treating endocrinologist. Legislation in
some states require removal of female reproductive organs.
Men who have undergone
irreversible sex affirmation
procedures, are eligible for a correction of
their legal sex as evidenced by their birth
certificate. The website for the
Births, Deaths and
Marriages Registry for your state or
territory can give you information on how to do
this.
Below you will find the Births, Deaths and
Marriages Registry for your state or territory.
