<img class="aligncenter wp-image-67326 size-full" src="https://static.travelgay.com/media/68081/gay-melbourne-essential-guide-2017-e1519047067195.jpg" alt="gay-melbourne-essential-guide-2017" width="100%" /><h2>Melbourne</h2>Cultural capital of Australia, and repeatedly voted as one of the word’s most liveable cities, Melbourne has an edgy, cool urban feel that will feel familiar to visitors from Europe, with a changeable climate to match.With its compact Central Business District (CBD), major arts infrastructure, annual festivals, impressive sporting facilities, sprawling suburbs and its own seaside neighbourhood and harbour, together with great shopping, cool and funky restaurant and bar scene, and the most diverse and happening gay scene in Australia, Melbourne really does have something for everyone.<h2>Gay Scene</h2>The Melbourne gay scene is liberally spread around the city, and divides roughly north and south of the Yarra river, with very little in the way of gay venues, other than <a title="Melbourne gay saunas" href="https://www.travelgay.com/melbourne-gay-saunas/">Gay Saunas</a> in the CBD. The city hosts year-round LGBT events, with the biggest being in the summer months.The Northside gay scene is arty, independent and alternative, and has most of the city’s leather and sex-on-site venues. It also has a higher lesbian population. The main gay-orientated districts in this part of town are Abbotsford, Collingwood, Fitzroy, Northcote, Brunswick and Carlton.Southside has a higher gay male population, with numerous <a title="Melbourne gay bars &amp; clubs" href="https://www.travelgay.com/melbourne-gay-bars/">Gay Bars</a>, <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/melbourne-gay-dance-clubs/">Gay Dance Clubs</a> and fashion outlets to serve them, with a main focus around Chapel Street, one of Melbourne’s major shopping and trendy restaurant areas.  The gay influence spreads around the districts of Windsor, Prahran, South Yarra, Richmond and South Melbourne, including St Kilda.Allow time to get to know both North and Southside - both areas have a whole lot of attractions for gay visitors.<h2>Getting to Melbourne</h2>Melbourne Airport is a major international airport of four terminals, with regular flights to all main Australian and New Zealand cities, and direct flights to major Asian hub cities and to Europe.There is no train connection from the airport to the city centre, and with taxis being expensive, a good option is the regular Skybus which operates 24/7. The bus picks up from Terminals 1 and 3 and drops at the Southern Cross Station Coach Terminal, in the CBD. The $17 one-way fare compares to over $50 in a taxi.The city’s second airport, Avalan, located to the southwest of the city, is used by low-cost carrier Jetstar on domestic routes. A shuttle bus connects this airport to the city centre coach terminal at Southern Cross.<h5><img class="alignnone wp-image-77299 size-full" src="https://static.travelgay.com/media/68082/gay-melbourne-hotel-guide-e1519047450858.jpg" alt="" width="100%" />trams before Melbourne skyline at St Kilda</h5><h2>Getting around Melbourne</h2>Melbourne's compact CBD is laid out in a grid system like Manhattan and is easy to get around on foot or by hopping on and off the trams. All the main city attractions lie within a 20-minute journey time from the centre and can be easily reached by the city’s good public transport network of trams, buses and trains.To use the city's public transport system, you will now need a Myki card which includes temporary day passes for visitors. You will need to top this up with money before travelling. Myki cards are widely available at designated machines and at 7Eleven stores. Fares are based on the city zones - Zone 1 being the inner city and Zone 2 the middle and outer suburbs.<h2>Where to Stay in Melbourne</h2>The most popular areas for gay visitors are city centre (CBD), St Kilda and South Yarra/Prahran.

The ability for same-sex couples to legally adopt a child.

This is not decided at the Federal level, but at the territorial government level. Some territories allow it, others do not. 
 
The Australian Capital Territory was the first to allow it in 1993 (single adoption), while Northern Territory was the last to allow it in 2018.

Following the amendment in the Queensland Criminal Code, the age of consent is now equal across all states and territories of Australia.

The difference between legal age of consent for homosexual sex and heterosexual sex.

In Australia sexually active LGBT people are unable to donate blood unless they abstain from sex for three months. Since 2021, the deferral period within Australia was reduced from 1 year to 3 months without PrEP. 
 
In June 2023, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approved a submission from Australian Red Cross Lifeblood calling to remove most sexual activity ineligibility criteria for plasma donors.

The ability for MSMs (men who have sex with men) to donate blood or tissue for organ transplants. A deferral period refers to a waiting time before a man can donate after having sex.

The Red Cross controls blood donations in Australia and it has a ban on MSMs active in the last year

Federal: legal, surgery not required from 2013 under the Australian Government Guidelines on the Recognition of Sex and Gender. According to ILGA, at least three subnational jurisdictions require surgeries. 
 
By region: Most states don't allow you to change your gender marker more than once in a 12-month period. The High Court of Australia has ruled that gender reassignment surgery does not need to be comprehensive, just be socially identifiable as your preferred gender. 
• Any government department that operates at a federal level does not require surgery. 
• In NSW a gender marker change requires GRS, top surgery, or orchiectomy. 
• In Queensland gender change requires an application confirming surgery or proof of reassignment surgery. 
• In South Australia no surgery is required, only proof of psychological counseling. 
• In Tasmania no surgery is required, they may require proof of psychological counseling for persons under 18. 
• In Victoria no surgery is required, you just have to attest you are the gender you claim.

In 1991, Australia legalized sterilization, which de facto meant legalizing sex reassignment surgery, however, medical records regarding transsexualism had to be obtained abroad.

In 1997 the High Court of Australia ruled that Tasmania's anti-gay laws were inconsistent with federal law, and Tasmania (the final jurisdiction with contrary laws) was forced to decriminalise homosexuality.

Homosexual activity was federally decriminalized by the Human Rights (Sexual Conduct) Act 1994, although some local state laws remained inconsitent until 1997.
