The University of Melbourne, a SAGE member institution, has launched ‘Return to Self’, a 38-minute video and podcast series, to help us all feel more confident supporting trans colleagues and students. 

Centring on the stories and insights of three trans people, ‘Return to Self’ unpacks what gender affirmation is and why it matters, offering practical guidance without judgement. Fae, Cam, and Nora bring the concepts to life in tender and relatable ways. 

The resource brings humanity, nuance, and clarity to the topic – so we can better support trans people in the workplace, the classroom, and our lives. 

‘Return to Self’ works as a standalone self-paced resource for individuals, or as the foundation for optional in-person sessions tailored to the needs of specific teams. 

It is designed to suit different learning preferences; you can choose to watch the videos, listen to the podcast episodes, or simply read the transcript. 

At its heart, it encourages us all to create an environment where people can get on with the work and study they want to do, and the lives they deserve to live.
