The Queensland Government has temporarily halted access to puberty blockers for children amidst a review of the Cairns Sexual Health Service. This move comes after concerns were raised regarding a young child accessing the service, prompting an investigation into the matter. The government aims to ensure the service is providing appropriate care and support for young individuals, with a focus on their physical and mental well-being. The review will examine the service's protocols and procedures, including the use of hormone therapy and other treatments, to guarantee the best possible outcomes for children and adolescents. Key services like these play a crucial role in supporting the health of Queensland's youth.
