The incidence of non-therapeutic child circumcision in Australia started to decline after the publication of the Bemaine Belmaine (1971) letter. By 1978, only 50 percent of newborn boys were being circumcised.
The incidence of circumcision continued to decline, so that by 1996, when the Australian College of Paediatrics issued a statement, it reported that the incidence of "routine" (i.e. non-therapeutic) circumcision was estimated at ten percent of newborn boys.<ref name-"acp1996>{{REFweb
