The service is available for people who are 12 years old and over. To access our psychological therapies, a Mental Health Care Plan is required from a GP.
NOTE: Our Mental Health Clinicians are not able to provide assessments and reports. Alternative referral options for this can be found on the ‘Practitioner’s List’ on the Trans Health SA website.
Our service offers peer support for gender questioning, trans and gender diverse people over the age of 16 through various group programs that run at different points throughout the year. These groups are supported by a team of paid staff and volunteers with lived experience of gender diversity.
Keep an eye out on our website and social media for current and upcoming groups!
