flag Australian psychiatrist Dr. Andrew Amos barred from patient care and social media discussions on gender identity in Feb 2026 over safety and discrimination concerns.

flag Dr. Andrew Amos, a Queensland psychiatrist and vocal critic of gender-affirming care for minors, has been barred from patient contact and restricted from discussing gender identity or transgender issues on social media by Australia’s health regulator, Ahpra. flag The February 2026 restrictions, which limit his work to non-clinical roles, follow concerns over his public statements questioning the safety and scientific basis of gender-affirming treatments. flag Ahpra cited patient safety and the need to prevent discrimination, emphasizing that professional conduct must not endanger patients, though specific details were not released. flag The decision has intensified national debate over medical authority, free speech, and the boundaries of professional critique in psychiatry.
