representatives of Intersex UK and Zwischengeschlecht. However, while Australian terminology has expanded from "LGBT" to "LGBTI" to include intersex people, the experience of intersex people remains poorly understood. In June 2016, Intersex Human Rights Australia made a submission to the UN Committee Against Torture which stated that the dignity and rights of LGBT and intersex people are recognized while what it and the UN Committee state to be harmful practices on intersex children continue. Darlington Statement In March 2017, representatives of Intersex Peer Support Australia, Intersex Trust Aotearoa New Zealand, and Intersex Human Rights Australia participated in an Australian and Aotearoa/New Zealand consensus "Darlington Statement" by intersex community organizations and others.

The guidelines were criticized by Alice Dreger and two colleagues for being focused on infant genital surgeries. Gillam, Hewitt and Warne stated in 2011 that the principles were then being extended nationally, that is, they were now "being extended to other centres in Australia". The government of Victoria produced a "derivative" version in 2013. This later version was criticised by one academic and Intersex Human Rights Australia for being irrelevant to clinical practice. Victoria later removed a "psychosocial" rationale for intersex medical interventions focused on "marriageability". Senate report on involuntary or coerced sterilization In October 2013, the Australian Senate Community Affairs References Committee published a report entitled Involuntary or coerced sterilisation of intersex people in Australia. The Senate found that "normalising" surgeries are taking place in Australia, often on infants and young children. The Report stated:
