PUBLIC MEETING: COMMUNITY CONSULTATION FOR PROPOSED GENDER CENTRE
Dear all,
Since July 2007, a group has been meeting to establish a health centre for trans and gender variant people in Melbourne. The centre would provide a wide range of social, support and health services to Victoria’s trans* and gender variant population.
We would like to invite all trans* and gender variant individuals and communities in Victoria to attend a public meeting about the centre, so you can contribute your visions and feedback about the proposed health centre.
The meeting’s purpose is twofold. Firstly, we aim to canvass the level of need for such a service. Secondly, we wish this project to be run and maintained by and for trans* and gender variant people of all kinds.
Consulting the trans and gender variant communities of Melbourne, in all of your diversity, is the first step along this road. Our vision is a gender centre for Victoria that will support the health needs of trans* and gender variant people, and their significant others, families, friends and allies. The centre will provide complementary services to those medical services that already exist to service trans and gender variant people’s needs.
Date: Saturday 13 October
Venue: Dantes, 150-156 Gertrude Street
(cnr Napier Street) Fitzroy
Time: 2pm – 5:30pm

Who We Are
We are a group of trans* and gender-variant people and allies in Victoria who believe that trans and gender variant people in Victoria should have access to the best, most comprehensive healthcare possible.
The proposed gender centre was initiated by Trans Melbourne Gender Project (TMGP), but it will be run by a diverse range of people. Some of us have been/are involved with TMGP, Gender Schmender, TransGender Victoria, Camp Betty, Upstart Alley and other groups.
