HCNSW has signed the Trans Justice Project’s Statement of Solidarity with the Trans Community. With various recent decisions directly affecting the health and wellbeing of trans, gender diverse and LGBTQIA+ people, in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia, Health Consumers NSW expresses solidarity with the trans, gender diverse, and wider LGBTQIA+ community.

As Trans Day of Visibility (31st March 2025) approaches, we reiterate our commitment to ensuring our organisation and the work we do is informed, affirming, and intersectional; representing consumer voices and highlighting the experiences of those with intersectional identities and needs. HCNSW is committed to ensuring the NSW health system is the best it can be – for all.
