Equinox is a peer led Trans and Gender Diverse (binary and non-binary) Health Service operated by the Thorne Harbour Health, (THH), formerly VAC. We consult regularly with the THH Trans Advisory Group and our patients to establish service needs and define priorities; and our practice reflects the outcomes of these consultations. Equinox and THH believe that by working in partnership with the trans (binary and non binary) community we can provide a safe environment for gender diverse clients to obtain quality medical care.
Equinox is a health and well being service for the trans (binary and non binary) community. We honour and support your informed decisions and will use your chosen name and pronouns whilst treating you with respect. Our goal is to ensure positive health outcomes for all members of the Victorian trans (binary and non binary) community. Our services include General Practice healthcare, sexual health, hormone initiation and management, Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and Counselling.

The waitlist has capacity to accept 175 registrations. If it has closed, please keep an eye on our Facebook page as we will notify community when we re-open it via that page.
If you require trans and gender diverse affirmative counselling support, family violence support or alcohol and other drug support services, please contact Thorne Harbour Health 9865 6700 and ask to speak to the Therapeutic Services intake team. These services have their own waitlist (generally much shorter!) for access.
If you would like to have discussion about our services, external supports and other resources, please email our Nurse, Gabe at gabe.curtis@thorneharbour.org
