Transcend Australia
Trans and Gender Diverse | State-Wide
Transcend Australia has been operating from 2012 as a volunteer-based peer support and advocacy group for parents with trans, gender diverse and non-binary (TGDNB) children. Initially focused on Victoria and now supporting in NSW and Queensland. This registered charity positively affirms that families and the children they love and support could overcome the difficulties they may face in raising a TGDNB child or youth and not simply survive, but transcend them and thrive.
Since 2012 Transcend has connected hundreds of families to medical, legal and educational support services and parent/carer communities around Australia. In this time, there has been an increased awareness and improved understanding of the needs of trans, gender diverse and non-binary people.
Service systems are improving and there is a greater acceptance and celebration of TGDNB people. But there is still a long way to go and Transcend is determined that TGDNB children, their families and carers are embraced and given every opportunity to thrive and flourish.
