Western Australia plans to abolish its Gender Reassignment Board and streamline legal gender recognition process.
The Western Australian government plans to abolish its Gender Reassignment Board, streamlining the legal process for gender recognition and removing the requirement for surgical reassignment to legally change sex. The Births, Deaths, and Marriages registrar will be responsible for determining gender recognition on birth certificates, with a medical practitioner or psychologist's letter required as supporting evidence. This bill aims to bring Western Australia in line with other Australian states.
