The Gender Centre is committed to developing and providing services and activities which enhance the ability of people with gender issues to make informed choices.
The Gender Centre is also committed to educating the public and providers about the needs of people with gender issues. We offer a wide range of services to people with gender issues, their partners, families and friends in New South Wales. We also act as an education, support, training and referral/resource Centre to other organisations and Service Providers. We specifically aim to provide a high quality service which acknowledges human rights and ensures respect and confidentiality.
The Gender Centre is not a medical centre and as such we do not provide medical documents and/or medical care and we cannot make referrals to any medical services; we can, however, provide information regarding health care service providers for you to access independently. We do not give recommendations regarding particular service providers.
