Gender Affirming Health Forum

The Gender-Affirming Health Forum is an interactive community event which has been developed so that people navigating their own gender transition may access more in-depth information, meet select international providers and also connect with others in the community who share the same journey.

The goal of this 1-day event is to inform and discuss a variety of professional gender-affirming services, so you may come out with many questions answered and better prepared to navigate the decisions ahead. There may be a lot to think about, so join us for an empowering day together. Remember, your friends and family are more than welcome too.

- Son Vivienne, CEO of Transgender Victoria
- Dr. Adam Brownhill, Founder of TG Healthcare
