Gender affirming healthcare helps trans and gender-diverse people to thrive. It gives us the freedom to be ourselves and to build good lives.

But anti-trans lobbyists, politicians, and the billionaires they serve, are lying to the public about this life-changing and life-saving care. They want to fuel fear and division so they can take more power and control over us all.

Many trans people are already struggling to access the care they need because of high costs, lack of availability, and discrimination. To make matters worse, in Queensland and the Northern Territory, the government has now cruelly stripped away access to gender affirming care for trans young people.

That’s why we’re building a real plan for trans health – a community-led vision for the trans healthcare system we need.

Our generation has an incredible opportunity to make this country into a global leader on trans healthcare. We have some of the best researchers and clinics in the world, public support for our community has never been higher, and our community is organised and ready to fight for the future we deserve.

We are calling on governments across the continent to invest in our community and commit to a plan that makes trans healthcare available to everyone who needs it. We’re calling on them to:

🏥 Fund our care and fix the system

🙋 Investing in trans leadership and expertise

🏳️‍⚧️ Protect our care from political attack.

Together, we can build unstoppable momentum for a real plan for trans healthcare and create a better future for trans people, our communities, and loved ones.
