Recently retired family lawyer, accredited family law specialist, and University of Newcastle law academic, Rachael Wallbank has played a pivotal role in numerous groundbreaking cases in Australia involving individuals identifying as transgender or intersex.
In part two of our two-part special, Catherine Henry engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Rachael, exploring the transformative cases that have reshaped legal perspectives for individuals who identify as being a different gender to what they were assigned at birth.
In this episode you’ll find out:
- How the landmark case Re Kevin changed how the law considers gender for the purposes of marriage
- How another landmark case changed the way pre-adolescent people and their families can access medical intervention
- How cases involving diversity should be treated in the law.
