The Seahorse Society of Qld. is a non-profit social and support organisation for cross-dressers and transgender people in Queensland, Australia. The name “Seahorse” was chosen as the male seahorse takes on the usual female role of gestating the species young.

The Seahorse Society of Queensland Inc. (Seahorse Queensland) is a non-profit self-help organisation situated in Brisbane. The Society’s purpose is to provide mutual support for crossdressers and transgender people, their partners and families.

We offer crossdressers and transgender people a way ‘out of the closet’ to self-acceptance by being able to meet, question, and share experiences with other crossdressers and transgender people. Partners and significant others are welcome at the meetings. We can refer you to medical, professional and biographical material about crossdressing and transgenderism.

Our aims are to promote self-respect amongst crossdressers and transgender people and their families and to promote a better understanding of crossdressing and transgenderism throughout the community.

Seahorse Queensland was established in 1976 and is an offshoot of the then Seahorse Australia. The Society today is an incorporated association and registered as an association with the Department of Fair Trade. At the Annual General Meeting the members elect a committee. This committee is charged with the day to day running of the Society. However there is another role that our committee has and that is to ensure the meetings are conducted in a totally non-judgemental, friendly and caring environment. The meetings are held once a month (except December). The meetings are closed to all except members and their partners/significant others.
