Full official record

On 21 December 2025 Health Minister Steve Edgington issued an NT Government media release. The lead sentence is: “The Northern Territory Government will cease public health access to puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for children under the age of 18.” The durable official copy is the Library & Archives NT / Territory Stories legal deposit (https://hdl.handle.net/10070/1023410; PDF https://hdl.handle.net/10070/1023403). This is a public-system restriction, like Queensland’s QH-MD-002. Prefer this media release over later nt.gov.au youth-page body text that may be outdated.

The Northern Territory is listed on the Australia page, with Queensland. The 21 December 2025 Edgington release is the official source used here.
