The Society's purpose is to provide mutual support for crossdressers and transgender people, their partners and families.

What is its history?

Under its original name, The Seahorse Club, it was founded in 1971 by a group of cross-dressers who wished to share their interests with similarly minded people. The membership was initially Australia wide, but the club quickly grew and eventually each state formed their own branch. The Seahorse Society of N.S.W. was incorporated in 1990.
