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".<ref name=CAA>{{REFweb

}}</ref> They state to be aligned with the [[Circumcision Academy of America]] which confirms that they don't see themselves as a medical body.
 
The Circumcision Academy of Australia has been a near total failure at its apparent goal of advancing the practice of male circumcision in Australia, because the incidence of [[circumcision]] is reported to be near its all time low of about four percent.

In their "List of Possible Circumcisers", they describe themselves as

In fact, they also openly advertise at the same time to be "the only Australian medical organisation devoted to male circumcision".<ref name=CAA/> All their statements and even their "meta-studies" state that they are rather "the only Australian medical organization obsessed with male circumcision". The website references the circumcision fetish site [[circinfo.net]] and quotes many papers by [[Brian J. Morris]] which (of course) reference papers of himself over and over again, too. It is obvious that his circular conclusions are driven by his obsession for [[circumcision]] and require little further attention.
The Circumcision Academy of Australia seems to have been a near total failure in promoting [[circumcision ]] in [[Australia]], as the incidence of non-therapeutic infant circumcision has declined rapidly to only four percent of newborn boys.
They transparently and proudly list their "board" and members, many of whom are either themselves identified as [[circumfetishist]]s or have a clear financial interest in [[circumcision]], particularly as physicians specialized in [[circumcision]]. Morris repeatedly recruits alleged co-authors for his pseudo-scientific elaborations from this very dubious "pool of experts".
