Housing Report 2026
Trans and gender diverse people consistently report high rates of homelessness, driven by family rejection and socioeconomic disparities, such as high rates of unemployment. However, with recent shifts in social attitudes towards trans people (for better and worse), and the housing and cost-of-living crisis, there is a need for research focused on trans and gender diverse peoples’ recent experiences of housing in Australia.
To address this research gap, an online survey focused on employment experiences was open for completion between 1 May 2024 and 31 May 2024 to anyone:
With a gender that is different to what was presumed for them at birth (trans or gender diverse).
Currently living in Australia.
Aged 16 years or older.
This survey was conducted as part of the larger TRANSform Project.
TRANSform is an ongoing research project that aims to produce priority-based and community-led research to improve the health and wellbeing of trans and gender diverse communities.
