Parental and doctor's approval is needed, of course, but a judge is no longer involved in deciding treatment!  That is huge.

Obviously that is great news.  I didn't know that a judge's approval was necessary in Australia.  Are there other countries, such as the USA, UK or Canada, where a judge's approval is necessary for teens to get HRT?
