Transcend Australia has launched a new suite of Queensland-specific resources designed to help families, young people and professionals access trusted information, practical guidance and pathways to support.
Developed through the Queensland Connected Communities Projecd, and funded by the Queensland Mental Health Commission, the Queensland Resources Hub brings together evidence-based information and lived experience insights to support trans, gender diverse, non-binary and gender questioning young people and the people who care for them.
The resources were co-designed with Queensland families, young people, clinicians and community organisations in response to a clear need for accessible, trustworthy information and practical support.
The resources were officially launched at Transcend Australia’s Connection, Community and Pride in Queensland event on 18 June, bringing together families, young people, clinicians, community organisations and sector leaders.
The Queensland Resources Hub includes:
- Family booklets and fact sheets
- Easy English resources
- Videos and audio stories
- Practical guides for parents, carers and chosen family
- A Queensland Service Guide for families and professionals
The resources aim to help families better understand gender diversity, navigate support options, build confidence and access community connection.
Transcend Australia CEO Susanne Prosser said the resources were created because families consistently told Transcend Australia they needed trusted information, clearer pathways and stronger connections.
“While many families begin their journey feeling uncertain, isolated or overwhelmed, quality information and peer connection can change everything,” Prosser said.
“These resources reflect the wisdom, experience, resilience and pride of the Queensland community and are designed to help families take their next step with greater confidence.”
Whether a family is at the beginning of their journey or has been supporting their child for some time, the Queensland Resources Hub provides practical information and reassurance that they do not have to navigate the journey alone.
