Financial Assistance with Transitioning

Transitory Life

This is a Melbourne based non-profit organisation that assists with the medical and related costs for the transgendered community in Australia. Transitory Life is managed by transgendered individuals and their supporters and therefore has an understanding of the unique hardships faced by applicants, but can only assist a limited number of people each year.
