Submission: Draft revised guidelines Sexual boundaries in the doctor-patient relationship

Medical Board of Australia logo
Morgan Carpenter, for IHRA (then OIIAU), and Bonnie Hart, for the AISSGA, made a joint letter of submission in March to the Medical Board of Australia on proposed "Draft revised guidelines Sexual boundaries in the doctor-patient relationship".

Intersex variations (often contentiously termed “disorders of sex development” in clinical settings) relate to personal sex characteristics, and so these guidelines are of particular concern to us and our members and constituencies.
