The [[Royal Australasian College of Physicians]] (RACP) has issued a statement on non-therapeutic child circumcision. (''Australasia '' includes New Zealand.) 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.
