We educate and try to dispel misunderstanding and combat discrimination, which is still a common experience for transgender people in Australian society. Atsaq is a confidential, non-profit, un-funded organisation, relying on donations and membership fees. We provide support on all aspects of Gender Dysphoria for the general community and people who are experiencing difficulty with their gender identity. We use the term transgender to remove the sexual connotations that can have been associated with the term transsexual. We have monthly newsletters and Luncheons.
