TGV | Transgender Victoria

What TGV | Transgender Victoria does

Transgender Victoria (TGV) is an Australian nonprofit incorporated in Victoria (ABN 64736020809) and founded in 2000, operating as Victoria's peak body for transgender, gender diverse and non-binary (TGD) people. The organization is trans-led, working for, by and with TGD communities to improve social, economic and health outcomes. Its service portfolio centers on four pillars: the Affirmation Station — a physical trans-led community hub at 279 Lygon Street, Brunswick East providing gender-affirming services (personal styling, makeup, binder/bra fittings, voice therapy, bodywork) plus an op shop; Peer Navigation — free confidential 1:1 identity-exploration support delivered in person and via regional pop-ups; Inclusion and Awareness Training — workplace training built around lived-experience delivery; and Trans-Inclusive Workplace Consulting — diagnostic and policy services for government, corporate and non-profit clients. Supporting programs include Trans Social Club, Trans Makers, Employment Skills, Change of ID Support and the Affirming Ideas Fund.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid charity model: tax-deductible donations (DGR status, channels include website, bank transfer, Good Company, Good2Give, bequests), annual memberships at $15/$25/$45/$60 tiers, corporate partnerships with Canva, Aesop, Medibank and GO-TO, government grants (Victorian State Government as primary funder, WorkSafe Victoria via WorkWell Respect Fund), and quote-based training and consulting. The underlying technology is deliberately minimal — a Webflow-hosted site, social channels, email newsletter (The Dispatch), and a multi-language resource library with 75+ human-authored guides and toolkits. Distribution is direct-to-community via the hub, in-person/online peer navigation, events (Trans Visibility Awards, Trans Month, Trans Social Club, regional pop-ups), and enterprise sales channels for training and consulting. The organization is governed by an elected committee, has approximately 19 staff, and in FY25/26 directly supported 2,386 TGD people across Victoria while reaching over 1,000,000 Australians through advocacy.
