The Paediatrics and Child Health Division of The Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) has developed a parent information leaflet (revised February 2012) to help parents make an informed decision about circumcision. The information has come from medical and scientific research that has been carefully examined to make sure you have the right information about the risks and benefits.
A group of doctors, nurses and parents have put this information together and they strongly support and recommend you talking more to your family doctor or paediatrician. The Paediatrics and Child Health Division of The Royal Australasian College of Physicians believes that newborn baby boys and young infants do not need to be circumcised, unless there is a medical reason.
