We never thought we’d need to write this in 2026, but here we are.

Following another homophobic assault in Adelaide’s C*D reported this week, we’ve released new guidance for LGBTIQA+ South Australians on staying safe in public.

Navigating public life should never require fear or hyper-vigilance, but with Pride Adelaide and Feast Festival around the corner, taking informed precautions can help protect you and those around you.

We’ve also written to Attorney-General Kyam Maher MLC calling for urgent protections including:
🔹Anti-vilification protections
🔹Modern anti-discrimination laws
🔹 Dedicated LGBTIQA+ legal support.

We have successfully shifted transhealthsa.com over to highly resilient cloud infrastructure.
Thanks to our friends at SARAA and Microsoft for Nonprofits, this move allows THSA to continue running our directory services in a performant and sustainable manner.

We have also further improved the website design so it is a friendlier, more unique design.

The fact my son has the first birth certificate in SA with two mothers listed on it is a testament to how much of a pain in the ass I can be when I want something.

⚠️Important!

Tomorrow afternoon, SA Parliament’s Legislative Council will debate a One Nation Bill seeking to criminalise trans youth healthcare in South Australia.

Not only does the Bill seek to restrict trans young people’s access to vital care, it threatens doctors, nurses and health practitioners with up to 5 years jail time for providing evidence-based treatment.

Australia’s expert body in health and medical research are currently developing national clinical guidelines on care for trans young people. This Bill isn’t based on new evidence or research - it’s a Bill based purely on ideology, fear and division.

We’ve been in active discussions with politicians across Parliament for the last few months and are expecting them to reject the Bill, leaving healthcare decisions to young people, their families and medical experts.

This debate will be distressing for trans communities, our families and allies. To stay safe:
1. Steer clear of SA Parliament tomorrow afternoon. We understand the Australian Christian Lobby are organising a rally on Parliament House steps from 2pm and recommend avoiding the area.
2. We’ll keep you updated on the outcome of the debate via social media and our website https://buff.ly/Gm8gCJO. If you want to watch the Parliamentary debate, you can live stream it on SA Parliament’s website from approx. 3pm. We know it will be a challenging listen with harmful rhetoric targeting trans communities, so listen with caution.
3. Get support! Call QLife on 1800 184 527 between 3-9pm for anonymous peer support, or book in to chat with the folks at Thorne Harbour Health: https://buff.ly/KrdsL8W

So incredibly disappointing to SA Health back peddle on their own promise and their own Model of Care documentation.

The Model of Care was built off of broad engagement with medical providers, researchers, and community surveys and consultation sessions. It most of all it was built off the demonstration of a need for live saving health care.

Thanks SA Health for promising health care and then taking it away because you can’t manage capacity of your systems! There is still an ability to fix this SA Health - it’s not too late to revisit this and do better!

The Trans Health SA website has had a bit of a facelift!

Behind the scenes we have been working to not only ensure we keep content current and relevant, but also that the website is as useable as possible.

A few changes include, an improved search feature of the Practitioner Directory.
You can now filter and print the Directory direct to PDF.
A light/dark mode switch.
Quicker access to immediate support resources.
Front page markers that link directly to the important categories.
Lots more, plus a generally more easier to navigate aesthetic.

BUT, none of this matters if it isn’t what you as our community need and want. If something isn’t working/broken, is missing, needs updating, or just sucks, please let us know! Accessibility is also supper important so please don’t hesitate to share any information about tools we can use to make sure as many people as possible can access the site.

This site is run by two community volunteers who want to ensure the site is by community, for community, with community. 🏳️‍⚧️

Providing information to South Australia's transgender and gender-diverse community.
