A report on circumcision in Australia.
Australia, like other English-speaking countries, once had a rather high rate of non-therapeutic neonatal circumcision of male infants, however Australia now has a very low rate of non-therapeutic neonatal circumcision.
History
The indigeous people of Australia, the Aborgines, have variously practiced subincision and circumcision since before the first contact with Europeans.
The incidence of non-therapeutic neonatal circumcision in Australia approached that of the United States in the 1930s through 1960s.
Douglas Gairdner's famous, classic 1949 paper, The Fate of the Foreskin: A Study of Circumcision,[1] seems to have had no effect in Australia.
Wright (1967) slammed the practice of non-therapeutic circumcision.[2]
−
− Example</ref>
The Australian Paediatric Journal issue of June 1970, published three articles critical of non-therapeutic infant circumcision.[3][4][5]
Position statements of medical societies
After considering the three papers published in the Australian Paediatric Journal, the Australian Paediatric Society adopted a resolution on April 24, 1971 that the circumcision of male infants should not be performed as a routine measure. That resolution subsequently was reported in a letter published in the Medical Journal of Australia on May 22, 1971.[6]
