GENDER AFFIRMATION SUPPORT BURSARY
Recognizing that trans members of our union continue to face severe economic and social challenges in undergoing gender confirmation surgeries or procedures, and these challenges pose significant barriers to their well-being in the workplace and in the union, the Union will offer financial support to its capacity to offset these expenses. The financial costs associated with gender affirmation cannot be tied down to a simplistic list. Thus, the Union holds an open definition of what constitutes gender affirmation. There is no predetermined list of eligible or ineligible expenses for reimbursement through this Gender Affirming Fund. The only requirement is that the cost(s) for which you are seeking reimbursement be associated with the processes of gender affirmation, which will remain expansive.
Please contact staff.psac901@gmail.com for more information.
We urge members to apply to the SGPS Gender-Affirming Care Financial Assistance Fund.
