Gender Affirmation
Informed, safe & high-quality care
We empower trans and gender-diverse individuals to affirm their identities safely and confidently. Whether you’re just starting your journey or seeking ongoing support, our team is here to walk with you every step of the way
The Kaleido Approach
We provide inclusive, safe, and high-quality gender affirming care for trans and gender-diverse individuals across NSW. We integrate gender affirming healthcare into all our services, ensuring that our systems, staff, and environment support every client’s gender identity.
Additionally, we offer a Gender Affirmation Service, providing GP-led primary care alongside peer, nursing, and allied health services. This model ensures that individuals seeking gender affirmation receive wrap-around, person-centred care that meets their unique needs.
