Dr. Louse Newman

Dr. Louise Newman is providing psychiatric advice one half day a week. Wednesdays, commencing on the 23rd February, 2000. Anyone wishing general advice or information should ring the centre to arrange an appointment. Due to time constraints access will be limited so early bookings will avoid delays. If you do wish to utilise this service you will need to bring your Medicare Card with you on the day of your appointment. Louise is providing this service at the centre as an extension of her own practice with the aim of improving access for Gender Centre clients.

Employment Equity Specialists Association (E.E.S.A.)

We are continuing our work with E.E.S.A. and the Transgender Working Party to address the issue of unemployment for the transgender community. If you are interested in working in the N.S.W. Public Sector and you have or are prepared to acquire the necessary skills then opportunities should be forthcoming in the not too distant future. Please register your interest with me personally, so I can retain your name on file and direct you accordingly when the opportunities arise.
