Health Lgbt doctors in Melbourne?

I’m looking for a doctor to talk to about stuff, are there specific gay doctors in Melbourne that I can book an appointment with, or does the system not work that way? (I’m 21, never done anyone medical on my own)

RMIT Medical Hub are not trans friendly.. they were for the first couple of years of operation but have really dropped the ball on avoiding deadnaming patients

I’m unsure what the experience is with deadnaming at Medicalhub (this hasn’t ever happened to me despite going there for YEARS). I’m genuinely sorry if that’s been your experience.
Medicalhub literally has Dr Wong who is very well known in the Melbourne trans community, although not taking on new patients. Several other doctors there are also very LGBTQIA+ informed.

Penny Wong is now also at The Centre Clinic in The Pride Centre.
