Trans Health Research Fund

Trans Health Research is a research group within the Department of Medicine at The University of Melbourne.

Trans Health Research conducts research with one goal: to provide robust evidence to improve the health and wellbeing of the trans and gender diverse (TGD) community. Our research findings guide health and wellbeing programs, treatment guidelines, and health policy, and have contributed to significant government investment in trans health in both Victoria and New South Wales. 

While research is our core focus, as a leading trans health research group in Australia and authors of national gender-affirming hormone therapy guidelines, we also regularly engage in education and advocacy with federal and state governments, healthcare professionals, and community organisations nationwide. 

Trans Health Research relies on competitive grant funding and donations. Your tax-deductible donation will be used to continue conducting research, education and advocacy to improve the health and wellbeing of the trans and gender diverse community. 

There is much more work to do, and we invite you to join us in shaping the future for health equity and a life without barriers for the trans and gender diverse community!
