This Item will amend section 40 to include an exemption to preserve the operation of State and Territory laws regarding official records of a person’s sex.
Commencement will be delayed for 12 months in order to provide states and territories with such laws with an opportunity to amend their legislation, and associated policies and procedures, to allow people who are married to change the sex marker on their official records.
People who changed genders were previously unable to change sex on birth certificates and other official documentation if they were married, as state or territory governments could refuse to do this as it could be seen as facilitating a same-sex union. Many transgender people were forced to divorce if they wanted to officially change gender. From December 9 [2018], state and territory governments will no longer be able to block changes to birth certificates and other documents.
The initiative began after La Trobe University research in 2010 found that 61% of same sex-attracted young people (aged 14 to 21) had experienced verbal abuse and 18% physical abuse; 80% of the abuse happened at school.
