About requests for information and services

Intersex Human Rights Australia Ltd (formerly OII Australia) is a not-for-profit organisation run by volunteers and part-time staff.

If you’re unsure who people with intersex variations are, then please consider reading our introductory guide to intersex for allies and some basic demographic data.

While we are able to provide policy guidance, including in relation to human rights and bioethics, please note that we cannot and do not provide medical advice. We are also unable to assist with migration inquiries.

If you seek assistance with your intake form, survey, academic study or research project, please read our notes on forms and research before contacting us.

Please bear in mind that we are obliged to prioritise our time to focus on our core aims and objectives, and it may take us time to respond to your inquiry. On some occasions, we are unable to respond to queries.

We warmly welcome honest and constructively critical feedback that can help us to improve our services and advocacy work.

You are welcome to contact us online, or by post or phone. Details below:
