Queensland introduces new legal framework for transgender and gender diverse people
The Births, Deaths, and Marriages Registration Act 2023 commenced in Queensland on 24 June 2024, establishing a new framework for legal recognition of trans and gender diverse people. It allows individuals aged 16 and over to apply directly to the Registry for a change of sex record, while children aged 12 to 15 can apply through the Children's Court with legal assistance funding available. The framework aims to strengthen legal recognition for trans and gender diverse Queenslanders.
