Waiting list

The Gender Service currently has a long wait list. This is because we see people from all over the State; we do not want you to wait any longer for treatment than is necessary and are always working on ways to provide support to people as soon as possible within the limits of our available resources.

All GPs can provide gender affirming care and the AusPATH  Australian Informed Consent Standards of Care provides excellent guidance. If your GP is comfortable prescribing hormones, or wishes to seek additional guidance, they can speak with the Gender Service medical doctors by phone or email.

What can I do while I wait?

The Gender Service can provide recommendations for gender- affirming care privately and in the community if the wait time is too long for you.

TransHub and AusPATH also have detailed information explaining how to find gender-affirming care. This includes accessing psychologists, social workers, counsellors, GPs, endocrinologists, sexual health physicians, gynaecologists, psychiatrists, fertility specialists and surgeons who have a special interest and expertise in working with TGDNB people.
