About AusPATH

The Australian Professional Association for Trans Health (AusPATH) is Australia’s peak body for professionals involved in the health, rights and well-being of all trans people – binary and non-binary.

Initially established in 2009 as ANZPATH (Australian and New Zealand Professional Association for Transgender Health), the organisation changed its name and governance structure in April 2019 to better reflect its national reach and representation.

In 2022, AusPATH co-published with historian Professor Noah Riseman, a history report of gender affirmation and trans health in Australia. Please take some take to read it here.
