Counting Ourselves

2018 survey findings

Counting Ourselves is the first comprehensive national research about the health and wellbeing of trans and non-binary people in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Our first survey took place between 21 June and 30 September 2018. It was completed by 1,178 trans and non-binary people aged between 14-83 from all regions in the country.

This is the community report from the 2018 Counting Ourselves survey, published in September 2019. The report belongs to us all now — as a resource to bring about long overdue change. Download a PDF of the report by clicking here or on the image below.

The first Counting Ourselves survey was very lucky to have support from a wonderful group of 10 people who volunteered to be on our Community Advisory Group.

They provided advice on ways to make sure the survey was relevant and reached a diverse range of people within our trans and non-binary communities.

The Community Advisory Group members were: Bea Alcorn, Nathan Bramwell, Phylesha Brown-Acton, Tai Hartley-Parsons, Roxanne Peoples-Henare, Laurel McLachlan, Soul Mehlhopt, Scout Barbour-Evans, Ahi Wi-Hongi, and Jevon Wright.
