This is all very interesting (and it makes me want to scream and type in all caps as well).

I am not sure of legal definitions but it certain fits under "medical condition" which very well could trigger application of the Disability Discrimination Act (I'd google but I don't have the time at the moment - maybe over the weekend).

I do not see how it could violate the sex discrimination act as it is not discrimating by favoring men over women or women over men. BUT it is discriminating against people of both sexes who have medical reasons for needing assistance.

Interesting suggestion about contacting the Human Rights Commission...hmmm...maybe another weekend activity to look into this.
