Gender Wellbeing Service
Important Gender Wellbeing Service Update
From July 1, 2023 the Gender Wellbeing Service will transition to a Thorne Harbour Health service (it will no longer be referred to as the Gender Wellbeing Service).
Thorne Harbour Health has been funded to provide a broader service to the LGBTIQA+ community where trans and gender diverse clients can still access gender affirming mental health services.
Thorne Harbour Health’s LGBTIQA+ Specialist Mental Health Service in Adelaide is a service for lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary and gender diverse, intersex, queer, and asexual community members experiencing mental illness and psychological distress aged 16 and above. The THH service will provide peer support, brief intervention, clinical care coordination, counselling and structured psychological therapies free of charge. Clients may self-refer or be referred via their GP or other health provider.
