We are a support and social group for the transgender community.

Seahorse Victoria Inc was formed in 1975 as a support and social group for the Victorian transgender community and is the longest running organisation of it’s type in Australia.

Seahorse Victoria aims to create a safe and supportive space in which those who identify as transgendered can meet and communicate with each other. Common issues, problems, successes, and – to a degree – similar life stories are the threads that bind members together.

We don’t have a Y2K name or a fancy website and are a “real life” group, as opposed to internet based.  While the internet is a valuable tool, nothing can replace what we believe is vital, everyday human communication and friendship.  Common issues, problems, successes and, to a degree, similar life stories are the threads that bind members together.

While some in our community cling steadfastly to their labels and decline to gather under the transgender banner, Seahorse has always recognised the value of inclusiveness- everyone has something to share that can benefit others, and of power in numbers.  We do not judge, discriminate or apply labels to members.  We are all individuals and understand that everyone has different needs and life circumstances.  All we ask is that all members treat each other with dignity and respect.  All member information is strictly confidential.

As well as providing support and friendship, members have gone on to advocate in legislative reform and work with government and community groups in all aspects of human rights for the Victorian transgendered community and broadcast transgender issues on Joy 94.9fm and 3CR community radio.

Seahorse Victoria fully endorses and supports the work of the Zoe Belle Gender Centre.

Membership to Seahorse Victoria is open to all people who identify themselves as transgendered, regardless of where on this wide spectrum you fall.  But before you can become a member we’ll need to speak to you first, as we need to protect the privacy of our members.
