Our Mission
To achieve justice and equity for all transgender people, including those who identify as cross dressers, those who identify as being transsexual, and all other people with gender-related issues.
Organisation Profile
TransGender Victoria was founded in the late 1990s to address discrimination faced by transgender people in Victoria. We have been successful as a fearless advocate in legislative reform and work with government and community groups in all aspects of human rights for transsexuals and cross-dressers alike.
Our committee represents the diversity of our community by having all subgroups represented. While we don't represent the intersex community, we have a strong relationship with them and therefore have an intersex community liaison representative from the AISSGA.
Organisation Objectives
The objectives of TransGender Victoria are:
1. to achieve justice and equity for transgender people and their supporters;
2. to consult with the transgender community;
3. to promote understanding of transgender issues;
4. to address areas of disadvantage and discrimination against transgender people;
5. to act alone or in concert with other persons or organisations in the furtherance of any or all of the objectives of the Association; and
6. to do such other things as the Association may consider being necessary and desirable to achieve and advance the objectives of the Association.
The assets and income of the Association shall be applied solely in furthering the above-mentioned objectives and no portion shall be distributed directly or indirectly to the members of the Association except as bona fide compensation for services rendered or expenses incurred on behalf of the Association.
Transgender Victoria recognizes Intersex as a separate and distinct group from Transgender, and does not represent nor seek to represent Intersex issues or people, although it endorses co-operation with and support of Intersex groups where appropriate and of potentially mutual benefit.
Membership
Becoming a member supports TransGender Victoria in supporting transgender people, their family, friends, partners and others. This takes place via our referral, representation and other services in ensuring transgender people keep achieving better life outcomes.
