Transcend Australia provides programs and services for families, parents and caregivers located anywhere in Australia.
We offer non-judgemental, compassionate and evidence based information and support services to any family member who may have a trans, gender diverse or non-binary child or (trans) young person. We recognise that trans people can affirm their gender during adolescence, but also in adulthood. If you are a parent or family member of an adult trans child, you are also welcome to access our services.
We recognise that you may also need to reach out for support to better understand if your child has a diverse gender experience. You are welcome to reach out for support, information and education about how to best support your child.
Transcend Australia provides the following programs and services:
- Individual direct family support via telehealth.
- Online group based family support programs.
- In person group based family support programs.
- Peer support activities and secure online knowledge hub.
- Education and training programs.
- Trans youth engagement and advocacy programs.
