Publicly Funded Gender Affirming Genital Surgery
Gender affirming genital surgery is publicly funded in Aotearoa New Zealand and is managed through a national waiting list for a First Specialist Assessment (FSA) overseen by Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora.
Referrals to the national service may be made by:
- A public hospital transgender health specialist (such as an endocrinologist or sexual health physician), or
- An authorised General Practitioner (GP).
(At the time of writing, authorised GPs are located in the Wellington and Christchurch districts.)
All referral criteria, required documentation, and the official referral form are available on the Health New Zealand Gender Affirming (Genital) Surgery Service website.
To be considered for an FSA, referrals must include up-to-date information confirming that the person is physically and mentally fit to undergo a lengthy and highly complex reconstructive surgical procedure. This typically includes a comprehensive psychological assessment, along with relevant medical history and supporting clinical documentation.
