Note: While the department recognises that an individual's gender relates to their deeply held internal and individual sense of gender, is not always exclusively male or female and may or may not correspond to their sex assigned at birth, due to technical limitations the current data collection is limited to responses of 'Male' or 'Female', as is reflected in this Value Domain.
