Results of the study highlight ongoing challenges faced by TGD persons in Australia in their experiences of gender affirmation, accessing healthcare and their awareness and participation in cancer care. Overall, considerable work across practice, policy and research, remains for Australia to provide equitable experiences in health and cancer care for this community.
