Professor [[J. Neville Turner|Neville Turner]] (1996) reported that [[circumcised ]] boys may sue their circumciser.<ref name="turner1996">{{REFjournal

Despite the criticism in the above referenced papers, there has been no legislative or judicial action to protect boys in Australia from medically-unnecessary non-therapeutic [[circumcision]].

The former Australian College of Paediatrics was merged into the [[Royal Australasian College of Physicians]] (RACP), which has issued a statement on non-therapeutic child circumcision. The statement (2010) states:
<blockquote>
After reviewing the currently available evidence, the [[RACP]] believes that the frequency of diseases modifiable by circumcision, the level of protection offered by circumcision and the complication rates of circumcision do not warrant routine infant circumcision in Australia and [[New Zealand]]. However it is reasonable for parents to weigh the benefits and risks of circumcision and to make the decision whether or not to circumcise their sons.
