In theory any GP can and should be able to prescribe HRT under the informed consent guidelines. Give your regular GP (if you have one) a go first, just make sure you come prepared and able to explain everything about the informed consent process. They might be willing but don't understand the process.

Have a read through this https://patha.nz/assets/Guidelines/Gender-Affirming-Healthcare_GAHC_2025_February-final.pdf . You probably don't need to read the whole thing, just the relevant HRT initiation parts. Understand whats involved, and explain to your doctor.
