Transfolk WA acknowledges the Whajuk Noongar people as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we are based. We pay respects to Elders past, present, and emerging, and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Sovereignty was never ceded. It always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples should be aware that this website may contain pages or resources with images, voices or names of deceased persons.
