The Conversion Practices Prohibition Act 2024 is an act of the Parliament of South Australia prohibiting conversion therapy.

Background

Provisions

The act prohibits the use of conversion practices which allege to suppress a person's sexual orientation or gender identity.[3]

Offences under the act may be punished with a fine of up to A$15,000 or a prison sentence of up to 3 years.[4]

Reception

SOGICE Survivors criticised the initial bill as it required people to have been directly affected by conversion therapy to make the report themselves.[5]
