Conversion Practices Prohibition Legislation Bill
Proposed amendment
Hon Paul Goldsmith, in Committee, to move the following amendment:
Clause 5
In clause 5, after Examples of conversion practices (page 3, after line 37), insert:
Example of act that is not a conversion practice
A health practitioner frankly outlining the risks, consequences, and merits of medical intervention in relation to gender transition.
Explanatory note
This Supplementary Order Paper seeks to amend the Conversion Practices Prohibition Legislation Bill by inserting an example of an act that is not a conversion practice. Medical best practice requires patients undergoing procedures to provide fully informed consent. This amendment would ensure that there is no doubt that a medical professional can deliver frank and honest advice to a prospective patient without the delivery of such advice being considered a conversion practice.
