Hormone Therapy at Transcend

Transcend offers hormone therapy as part of its range of services for transgender and non-binary individuals.

Hormone therapy, which involves prescribing and monitoring hormones, is a key element of gender-affirming care for many individuals.

This is the only gender identity clinic currently prescribing.

  • Initial Assessment: Before hormone therapy is prescribed, individuals undergo an assessment to evaluate their needs and goals
  • Discussion with Clinician: Based on the assessment, the clinician will discuss hormone therapy as an option, considering your medical history and individual circumstances
  • Shared Decision-Making: The decision to start hormone therapy is made collaboratively between you and your clinician
  • Prescription and Monitoring: If hormone therapy is deemed appropriate, the clinic will provide prescriptions for the necessary hormones and establish a monitoring schedule to ensure your safety and wellbeing.

Gender clinicians specialise in hormone related health issues and would likely be the clinicians responsible for prescribing and monitoring hormone therapy. Once established on medication your GP will take over prescribing on a long term basis.

Important considerations

There might be waiting times for assessments and subsequent hormone therapy initiation due to the high demand for gender care. It's essential to maintain open communication with your clinician throughout the process, asking any questions you may have and discussing any concerns that arise.
