New Zealand’s High Court blocked the government’s ban on puberty blockers for trans youth, citing lack of evidence and improper consultation.
In December 2025, New Zealand’s High Court halted the government’s ban on prescribing puberty blockers to transgender youth, ruling the decision unlawful due to insufficient evidence and lack of proper consultation.
The court emphasized that medical decisions should rest with patients, families, and healthcare providers, not political agendas.
The ruling came after the Professional Association for Transgender Healthcare Aotearoa challenged the ban, citing ethical concerns and disrupted care.
The government had cited limited evidence on long-term effects, but the court found no urgent medical risk, stressing the need for evidence-based policy and urgent review.
