All eligible applications are reviewed to ensure funding is directed to those experiencing the greatest financial barriers to care. Eligibility for full or partial funding is assessed using the income information provided.
We understand that most people apply in good faith. However, because demand for funding is high, applications go through a screening process to help prioritise those facing the greatest financial barriers. This includes reviewing evidence of income and receipt of means-tested benefits.
Applications are reviewed by a panel of trans and trans-adjacent members of the Anne team. As part of the process, successful applicants will also have an appointment with a member of our therapeutic team to confirm their capacity to consent before starting care.
For privacy and confidentiality reasons, we do not share the personal details of successful applicants. Funded members may choose to provide a short, optional statement confirming their success, which helps us demonstrate that funds are used as intended.
Take the first step with Anne.
We’re here to guide and support you with inclusive, gender-affirming care built around you.
