In its submission, RACS supported the creation of new MBS items for surgical procedures applicable to gender affirmation in adults diagnosed with gender incongruence.
RACS recognises the leadership of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand (USANZ) in this important area and appreciates their commitment to ongoing work on improving access to healthcare for transgender and gender-diverse people in Australia.
