ABOUT US

Working Together for Equity

An introduction to Trans Health Research with Professor Ada Cheung.

Trans Health Research conducts research with one goal: to provide robust evidence to improve the health and wellbeing of trans and gender diverse communities. Every question we ask, every project that we do, every collaboration that we start, is aligned with our goal and must translate to better health and advocacy for our communities.

Trans Health Research prioritises research that is co-designed with the community and led by trans and gender diverse people. Our team is made up of non-binary people, trans men, trans women, and cisgender allies, and our collaborators are similarly diverse. We take great pride in centring the lived experiences of community members.
