The Rudd Government has reinstated gender-neutral identity documents and passports to help transgender people travelling overseas for surgery.
The decision follows an Administrative Appeals Tribunal ruling last year that transgender married couples were entitled to be issued new passports with their correct gender and existing marital status.
The policy review recommended those applications by people who are legally married and in a same-sex relationship should be determined on a case-by-case basis.
