Research contact list

Would you like to be involved in research that helps to understand trans and gender diverse identifying individuals and improve service delivery for people exploring gender affirmation?

Monash Health Gender Clinic participates in research on a variety of topics. Some are in-house projects led by Gender Clinic staff members, which may include students and doctors/psychiatrists/psychologists in training; others are partnerships with other organisations funded by research institutes.

In 2025, we established a research contact list to facilitate participation by Gender Clinic clients in research. This secure research participation database allows current clients and those on our waitlist to indicate their interest in receiving invitations to participate in current and future research projects. Participants can update their preferences at any time.

Joining or not joining the research participant database does not affect client engagement, assessment, or services provided by the Gender Clinic. Only Gender Clinic Research Officers (non-clinicians) have access to the database.

What is involved?

By joining the research participant database, you will receive invitations to participate in specific research projects.

You will be under no obligation to participate.

Projects may include completing a survey or series of surveys, being part of an interview or focus group etc. Some projects offer recognition of your efforts (e.g. gift card, voucher, or entry into a participant prize draw). Individual research project details will be in each project’s invitation.
