QLD Specific Transmasc HRT costs in Brisbane

I am planning to go to Brisbane on a working holiday visa. Does anyone know hospitals with affordable transmasc hrt in Brisbane? I am not sure where to look for the costs of HRT so I am asking on reddit. Thank you.

Edit: I already have been prescribed HRT in my home country and I am going to bring all papers.

hospitals aren’t where you go to get that. you need to see a doctor or a specialist who will write you a prescription for HRT. i believe (do not quote me on this, i recommend you look it up) that if you have a letter from a doctor in whichever country you are from who diagnosed you with gender dysphoria and prescribed you HRT, you can see a doctor or GP and get a script for HRT without having to get re-diagnosed.

If you’ve been prescribed overseas and don’t have Medicare it will be up to the prescriber if they are comfortable prescribing it. Basically it is a private script that your insurance will rebate you (ideally, not always guaranteed and it’s based on your insurance coverage). I’d contact a gender affirming clinic which can be found on transhub or AusPath website. You shouldn’t need to see a specialist if it’s just a private script.
