I can endorse the counselling provided by the Gender Centre and I’ve also seen Dr Toohey who I found to be very supportive. I’d add Dr Emanuel Vlahakis at the Taylor Square Private Clinic , 393 Bourke St Darlinghurst 02 93316151 http://www.tspc.com.au. Dr Vlahakis is a sympathetic GP specialising in gender issues. He was recommended to me by the Gender Centre and in turn referred me to Dr Toohey. He is now managing my hormone treatment.
Update:
Dr Cathy Pell also at the Taylor Square Private Clinic stood in for Dr Vlahakis in seeing me when he was away for a few months. She too was very understanding.
The Gender Centre has moved from Petersham to Annandale recently. -
Dr Vlahakis has left the Taylor Square practice but Dr Pell is still there and I see her regularly. There are other doctors there with TG patients. I guess if you say why you need to see a doctor, reception will steer you to one with relevant experience.

I am currently seeking a GP more for general health, but would prefer someone who has dealt with the transgender community before. I was hoping more for the inner west Sydney. I will look into the Taylor Square Private clinic to see if they can help me.
Thanks,

I go to the Taylor Square Clinic and see Dr Pell. She is great and is happy to see me about any general medical needs. Though I have now been full time for a while and go see my local medical centre. Dr Pell was great with both my medical transition and also general medical needs
