Creating An Gender-affirming Healthcare Environment

Fear of discrimination, stigma, and mistreatment leads many trans and gender diverse people to delay or avoid accessing healthcare — with serious consequences for their long-term health. Part of Ausmed's Igniting Change Community Series, this lecture with Transcend Australia, offers practical guidance on how healthcare providers can create genuinely inclusive environments. Topics covered are how to use respectful and affirming language, ask appropriate clinical questions, document names and pronouns correctly, and adapt everyday procedures and policies to better reflect the needs of trans and gender diverse patients.
