Gender Related Care

Professor Harvey and Dr Power are both members of AusPATH the Australian Professional Association for Trans Health and offer supportive care and WPATH support letters for patients seeking gender-affirmative surgical treatment.

We are happy to see you whether you are transgender, non-binary or any other identified gender and are seeking support to access treatment to reduce feelings of gender incongruity/gender dysphoria.

Pathways to gender transition, or simply feeling comfortable about yourself are complex and confusing, particularly if you are just starting this journey. We recommend the following resources:

  1. The AusPATH provider directory

  2. TransHUB- helpful and supportive information and resources (aimed at NSW, but lots of useful general information)

A GP Referral is needed, once you have this, simply register as a new patient via the Appointments menu.

If you are seeking access to gender-affirming hormone treatment we recommend that you see a supportive GP who offers hormone treatment via an informed consent model where no psychiatrist involvement is needed. See the AusPATH directory above.

Prof Harvey and Dr Power offer appointments for people seeking WPATH support letters. We can sometimes see people at short notice, however, generally your surgery date should be at least 3-4 months from the time you register with us. We are also happy to complete paperwork for early release of Super at no extra cost following a request for a comprehensive assessment and management plan (item 291) from your GP. 

A GP referral from your usual treating GP will be required before an appointment is offered. For fees, please see individual psychiatrist entries (above).

Please note that we do not accept referrals from "Instant" or "online" referral services. Referrals must be from your usual treating GP to ensure continuity of care.
