LGB Alliance Australia Welcomes Queensland’s Decision to Pause Puberty Blockers
Queensland’s decision to continue the pause on puberty blockers for minors is a vital safeguarding measure, especially given the Review’s conclusion that the evidence base is limited.

Submission to the Review of Consumer and Community Involvement in Health Research
LGB Alliance Australia has urged the NHMRC to strengthen its Draft Statement on Consumer and Community Involvement in Health and Medical Research.

We also raise concerns about the draft’s reliance on lived experience without recognising viewpoint diversity, and we call for clearer role definitions that keep health research grounded in evidence and scientific integrity.
