Full official record

NSW Health’s official specialist service for people under 25 includes puberty blockers and opposite-sex hormones where clinically appropriate.

New South Wales is listed on the Australia page, not as its own country. The official NSW Health TGD Health Service page says the statewide hubs offer puberty blockers and opposite-sex hormones where clinically appropriate. The official consent manual names puberty suppression (GnRH analogues) and opposite-sex hormones for under-18s, with both-parent consent rules. School CSE is listed above.

Schools detail

The official PDHPE K–10 Syllabus (2018) is the NSW curriculum. The NSW Department of Education states that sexuality and sexual health is a learning context in that syllabus from Kindergarten, covering identity, gender, human sexuality, and respectful relationships, with sexual-health content in Years 7–10. That is a clear subnational CSE instrument.
