Gender-affirming care is about recognising and respecting people for who they are. It encompasses a wide range of medical, psychological, and social supports designed to affirm identity and promote wellbeing. At our clinic, we believe that everyone deserves care that is inclusive, respectful, and tailored to their individual needs.
All doctors at Inner North Medical Clinic are committed to providing inclusive, trans-affirming care. In addition, three of our doctors have undertaken further training and experience that enables them to initiate hormone therapy using the informed consent model. They are also able to perform oestradiol implants.
Each Doctor brings both medical expertise and genuine compassion, taking time to listen, understand your goals, and offer guidance that supports your choices. They follow best-practice approaches in line with AusPath standards, ensuring that your care is safe, evidence-based, and person-centred.
Whether you’re starting your gender-affirming healthcare journey or continuing treatment, our team is committed to providing care that is respectful, inclusive, and supportive.
The initial appointment is longer than a standard consultation to allow time for a comprehensive discussion. During this visit, your doctor will explain the model of care, available treatment pathways, and work with you to develop an approach that aligns with your goals and needs.
Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where you feel heard, affirmed, and empowered to make decisions about your health.
