Policy statements, including calls to action on health and human rights issues
We congratulate the Albanese Labor government on its re-election. We look forward to continuing to work with the government, to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for people with innate variations of sex characteristics, to build on key actions from the 47th Parliament, and to deepen engagement across portfolios.
We have today been advised by the ABS that the government will not include a question on innate variations of sex characteristics in the 2026 census, despite including questions on sex, sexuality and gender.
Read our joint call for action in NSW by the new Minns government, by Intersex Human Rights Australia and Intersex Peer Support Australia.
IHRA is pleased to share our call for action by the new government. It includes calls for action to promote legislative reform, resource peer support and advocacy, reform medical codes and provide redress.
