What is NSW Change of Sex?

There are Australian Government Guidelines on recognising gender (see the link further below under ‘Where to Get Help and Information’). If your birth was registered in NSW and you’ve undergone a sex affirmation procedure, you can apply to have your Registry record updated. You can do this by mail, or in person at a service centre. You can change your gender on federal formal documents or records by applying to the agency that looks after the document or record that you want to change.
