Join the National Day of Action

Join us to demand the Queensland government reinstate care for trans youth, and make gender-affirming care accessible and affordable for everyone who needs it.

The banning of hormone therapy by Health Minister Tim Nicholls is a politically motivated attack that undermines the right of trans youth to grow up happy, healthy, and with the freedom to be themselves.

The Minister’s decision will halt vital, evidence-based healthcare for 491 young people and their families – many who have been on the waiting list for months, and even years.

This affects all of us. Governments cannot be allowed to ban vital, evidence-based healthcare solely on the basis of their political beliefs.

By taking to the streets across the country we can pressure the Queensland government to reverse the ban, stop the attacks on trans youth, and protect access to this life-changing and life-saving health care.

Help make these events colourful and fun. Bring flags, banners, streamers, and signs. Everyone is welcome.
