JOY Law: transgender youth & legal rights

On this episode of JOY Law, Bronwyn Montgomery and Kristina Antoniades discuss legal issues regarding transgender youth and minors, including:

• parental responsibility and the role of both parents until the child turns 18 years of age;
• medical interventions requiring consent beyond normal parental responsibility;
• two stages requiring consideration and consent:
  • stage one consideration relating to delaying the onset of puberty; and
  • stage two requiring Family Court consideration relating to the administration of oestrogen or testosterone, and
• special evidence required when making an application to the Family Court.
