 The Australian High Court gave specific and strong approval for the Gillick decision in "Marion's Case", "Secretary of the Department of Health and Community Services v JWB and SMB" (1992) 175 CLR 189.The Gillick competence doctrine is part of Australian case law (see, e.g., "DoCS v Y" [1999] NSWSC 644).There is no express authority in Australia on "In re R" and "Re W", so whether a parent's right terminates is unclear.
