Hey Ms Grace :D
Im in rural NSW. Looking to make the move to Sydney at the moment, although finding accommodation seems to be a problem. If you have any advice on resources or trans friendly services that could help I would greatly appreciate it :)
I look forward to getting to know you more :)

Yeah, rent in Sydney is pretty much through the roof. But of course the access to services and the like is much better, so there's some pay off.
The Gender Centre in Petersham is the main one I know of, and have used. Unfortunately they are underfunded but do the best they can all the same.

Ask to be booked in to speak with a counsellor, there is a lengthy waiting list but once you're in the follow up appointments are easier to come by. Plus they're free.
