the GP's at the northside clinic in fitzroy are excellent and all of them can deal with basic trans related stuff.
Jaco Erasmus is a psychiatrist in moonee ponds that deals with gender stuff. It only took 3 sessions for him to write my srs letter (although I've heard of people needing many more sessions).

Jaco is my GT, and he was very helpful as I didn't have much in the way of support networks in country Victoria.

Hi girls;
Many thanks. In the end I went to see Sven Strecker at Prahran Clinic. He was a very pleasant and down to earth, told me I looked very presentable and passed very well and referred me to a therapist called Claire Weightman. (see http://www.prahranmarketclinic.com/page.php?nameIdentifier=claire-weightman (http://www.prahranmarketclinic.com/page.php?nameIdentifier=claire-weightman)).
She is absolutely wonderful and a real beautiful person. I really got on well with her. I 100% recommend seeing her. She has a lot of TG experience for both MTF and FTM. I am really looking forward to seeing her again.
The next step is probably Jaco Erasmus (psychiatrist) in moonee ponds, although I was previously treated by Russel Reid in London.
I not on E yet as I have to wait for all the Blood work results.
Hugs
