The '''Circumcision Academy of Australia''' (former name: ''Circumcision Foundation of Australia'') is an alleged medical organisation which "aims to promote reliable medical research information on [[circumcision ]] as a public health issue and facilitate education on good clinical practice." The Circumcision Academy of Australia is closely associated with [[Brian J. Morris]]. In addition it supports parental and individual choice in obtaining medical or religious circumcision in the Australian community. It is not aligned with any medical body nor with any particular religious faith".<refname=CAA>{{REFweb |last= |first=

== Perpetuating myths ==
What is shocking is that this organization still claims that neonatal circumcision does not require general anesthesiaanaesthesia<ref>{{REFweb

}}</ref>, instead of correctly stating that neonatal circumcision is neither medically indicated nor can it be performed under general anesthesia anaesthesia without endangering the life of the child. Thus, the CAA perpetuates the myth that newborns do not feel [[pain]].
== Board and members ==
IntactiWiki lists all known members of this Brian Morris "enterprise" because chances are that many of them are only paper tigers or non-specialist supporters and pure [[circumfetishist|circumcision fetishists]] like Morris himself. As the [[Intactivists of Australia and New Zealand]] already found out in 2012, the website is or at least was hosted on web servers of the {{UNI|University of Sydney|USYD}}, his former employer, while he was asked by them to remove his stuff from their servers in 2011 already. It seems to be obvious that Morris still is the motor and head of the CAA, too, and just hides from the frontline by declaring to be only their "Secretary". Effectively, he seems to maintain the website, gives his contact address, and designs all "studies" which he writes himself and collects "co-authors" for from his organization. == Board<ref name="CAAMembers">{{REFweb
