Binder programme
Our volunteers run a free binder programme for people who are trans masculine who can't access a binder themselves. We also provide post op binders for anyone having top surgery.
Eligibility for binders
Our regular binders are for people who are otherwise unable to access or afford a binder. You need to be a trans masc person (inclusive of all identities including binary, non-binary, questioning) and living in Victoria (see links below for other states). Please check your sizing carefully using gc2b sizing charts before you apply. We ask that people only apply once per year, unless you have special circumstances. After you apply, we'll email you a confirmation and let you know the next steps.
Eligibility for post op binders
Our post-op binders are for anyone who is having top surgery - no other requirements. We ask that you donate to help us cover postage if you can. An extra binder is handy during recovery! We have them in sizes S, M and L. There's no application form for post op binders - just shoot us an email at ftmshed@gmail.com.
Binders in other states
If you need a binder and you're outside of Victoria, please check out your local trans support group or organisation and ask what support they have available:
South Australia - TransmascSA
Western Australia - Trans Folk of WA
Queensland and northern NSW - Many Genders, One Voice
Northern Territory - The Northern Territory AIDS and Hepatitis Council (NTAHC)
NSW - The Gender Centre
