A GENDER AGENDA

A Gender Agenda (AGA) is a peer-based community organisation that works with, and advocates for intersex, trans and gender diverse people. A Gender Agenda aims to support the goals and needs of the intersex, transgender and gender diverse communities of Canberra and the surrounding region. Through training and education, advocacy, peer support, resources and professional networks, we connect people to each other and build off the wisdom of collective experiences. For over ten years, AGA has represented a gold standard of TGD+I support that is unique in Australia. AGA delivers intersex, trans and gender diverse training and education in our local community, to build capacity and to help reduce barriers and discrimination for intersex, trans and gender diverse people. AGA provides consultation to many workplaces, including government and non-government organisations, offers information and support for schools and students, and collaborates with other professionals who closely support the intersex, trans and gender diverse community. AGA's Calendar of Events has a variety of community happenings ranging from workshops and discussion groups to weekly drop-in sessions, and regular youth and family groups. AGA also offers a wide range of relevant up to date resources that can support trans, gender diverse and intersex peoples, their families and allies as well as the wider community.

THE FRIDAY CENTRE

The Friday Centre is a peer navigation service that aims to assist trans and gender diverse communities with information and referrals to support their social, legal and medical transition.

AGA fundamentally believes in a right to safety, inclusion and respect and that all people should feel free to live in such a way that embraces their inner sense of self, regardless of how they identify. AGA is proud to exist and operate in the ACT, a Territory which also upholds these values. Our Vision is for a world where intersex, trans and gender diverse people live without discrimination or fear.
