What is this service?
Hauora Tāhine, pathways to transgender healthcare is the collective name for a number of secondary health services that provide gender affirming healthcare for gender diverse and transgender clients across the Auckland region.
Auckland Sexual Health welcomes all transgender and gender diverse people. The team provides care for clients aged 18 years and older at the four clinics across Auckland. We will work with you to establish your transition related health goals and provide support around an individualised health plan.
We recognise that you are the expert around your own gender identity, whether you're a binary trans person, non-binary, transsexual, agender, whakawāhine, tangata ira tāne, tāhine, fa'afafine, fakaleiti, akava’ine, genderqueer or however else you might like to describe yourself.
What does the service offer?
The team will send letters to your GP outlining your management plan and support your primary care health team to provide on-going maintenance therapy once established. Your GP may refer you back to the service for further support if your hormone therapy needs to be reviewed or you need to access further gender affirming health care.
