The Restricted Medical Treatment Assessment Board (the Board) is part of Australia-first legislation and a world‑first reform package that will deliver legal protections and new care services for people with variations in sex characteristics.
The Variation in Sex Characteristics (Restricted Medical Treatment) Act 2023 (the VSC Act) establishes a new approval process for some irreversible medical treatments for people with variations in sex characteristics. Its effect will be to permit these interventions when they meet criteria set out in the VSC Act.
The ACT Government is seeking applications from high performing candidates to fill the roles of president and members who are experts across five fields: human rights, medicine, ethics, variations in sex characteristics, and psychosocial care. The wide range and depth of expertise of the Board will help ensure the best care decisions are supported in the ACT health system. It is possible for applicants to apply for one or more of the categories of appointment. The president and members do not need to be based in the ACT.
