Finding affirming, trustworthy resources can make all the difference when you’re exploring gender identity, transitioning, or simply looking for community. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or years along, Australia’s trans and non-binary community continues to grow stronger — with more inclusive healthcare, legal support, and social spaces than ever before.
We’ve pulled together Australia’s most up-to-date resources for 2026, including our own recommended health providers to help you access what you need, wherever you are.
Recommended Health Providers
