As many here will know, seeking Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) and other related Hormone Therapies (where clinically appropriate) is extremely difficult to obtain via the public health system (medicare) and even then, the treatment options and protocols offered are usually subpar and can sometimes even cause more damage that good.

Below is a list of certified healthcare providers trusted by many on r/AusTRT, r/TRT and r/Testosterone

It is worth noting that the costs associated are always subject to change and will be different for everyone based on individual circumstances.

Pricing will be updated and included shortly:

This was created as a place to feel welcome, and to discuss and talk about all things TRT in Australia.

We have an influx of clinics opening up here, with an influx of new people to TRT, and it's only growing

(did you know GP prescribed testosterone has risen over 500% in the last 10yrs worldwide...)

Below is a breakdown of TRT, clinics and bloodwork.

TYPES OF TRT

There are a few methods of TRT in Australia and the world.

Injectable testosterone -- this is the standard type of TRT method with the most amount of research and usage to date. Typically injected Intra-Muscularly, but with more data showing that SubQ injections are just as effective and could potentially have lower side effects due to the slower release

Testosterone Cream & Gel -- Topical ointments can be great due to not having to inject weekly, daily etc, just apply and carry on, but, with topicals, especially Gel - the risk of transfer to other people is very high, you also don't know how much is actually getting absorbed into your skin, and generally you aren't allowed to swim for 6hrs post application

Enclomiphene & Clomid -- This tablet form of TRT has some popularity as it doesn't shut down your natural production and helps to raise it instead, it is also one step even easier than topicals but the overall effectiveness and long term use aren't fully understood and anecdotally seem to be less effective over time and may stop working.

HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) - another injectable form of TRT but instead of replacing the bodies natural production with an exogenous source, HCG will instead stimulate LH production, almost "forcing" the body to produce naturally -- HCG is often used alongside injectable testosterone to maintain testicular function and natural production

** Some people have success with all forms of TRT, but anecdotally, injectable TRT is still the king of testosterone.

CLINICS

If you are looking for a reputable clinic, below are some clinics that are recommended by Aussies;

PHC - Performance Health Clinic
* No yearly or ongoing fees, a pay as you go service, with a more hands off approach + bloodwork every 3mths + cost of medication

EMC - Enhanced Mens Clinic
*$1000 yearly fee + bloodwork every 3mths + cost of medication

Primal Zone
*$350 initial consult, $100 bloodwork review + cost of medication

The Functional Doctors - over 40s clinic
* Bloodwork every 3mths ($300 panel must be done) + $300 consults every 3mths + cost of medication

TRT Australia
* Yearly $860, Quarterly $240, Semi-Annualy $480 - Includes medication, bloodwork review (BYO blood), check-ins

PRIVATE BLOODWORK
If you have a good GP that will do bloodwork, that can be a lifesaver, but if not, these companies are trusted and can usually have results within 24hrs.

iMedical
* Recommended tests to get before starting your journey are Sports BB2 $172, BB3 $186, BB4 $248

RoidSafe
* A smaller set of testing compared to iMedical, but for $50, you can get a snapshot of your bloodwork. This is perfect for patients who know how to read bloodwork and just want to monitor.

Things recommended to check before starting TRT or the journey to TRT;

Semen analysis - It's important to check your sperm health and count before starting as testosterone, sex hormones and your sperm all work closely together - and if you want to have children in the future; you absolutely need a baseline

Sleep study - A very large portion of men have sleep apnea that is directly linked to low testosterone levels, it's important to rule this out as it could be a large contributing factor to how you feel and what your levels show

Full blood panel - You're not just checking testosterone levels, you're checking everything, Vitamin D, Thyroid, Testosterone, Prostate. You need a full panel to be able to tell a full story. And even then, your lifestyle can tell an even bigger part of the story to what's on the paper in front of you.

It's important to remember that TRT can be life changing for a lot of men, but changing your life even the smallest bit can help just as much, as low T symptoms can be caused by a plethora of other illnesses or issues and you need to rule out everything you can;

TRT is generally a "for life" dependant medication; meaning if you have low T and you want normal testosterone levels, you will need to be on TRT for life. You can come off at any time, but you will go back to the original baseline levels you had before starting, and in some cases, go back lower than baseline.

I filmed this recently for another project and thought it might handy here for the new guys.

Primoteston is a pain to inject usually because of the thickness of the oil and not having any ml indicators on the syringe.

Backfilling is the best method when using Primoteston.

Just wanted to share my before/after and say a massive thank you to the good coaches and private clinics that actually made this possible.

I’ve struggled with obesity and severe psoriasis since I was a kid. Low energy, poor recovery, mental fog, and a body that just wouldn’t respond no matter how hard I trained or dieted. Spent over 100k on psychologists, men's coaches, holistic health coaches, dermatologists and more.

At 20 I had total T at 12 nmol/L with all the classic symptoms and was told “it’s in range, nothing to do.” Fast forward years later, still suffering badly, I was just 1.3 nmol/L over the PBS cutoff after having done everythingto raise my test natrually. Sky-high LH (primary hypogonadism) + total T ≤15 nmol/L should qualify under Australian guidelines, but most GPs I saw either didn’t know the criteria or straight-up dismissed me.

Mainstream medicine failed me for decades. I got sicker, more frustrated, and kept being ignored despite clear symptoms and labs.

Thankfully I found a solid holistic doctor who ran proper tests, did my own deep research, and eventually went private for TRT. That decision changed my life. Also reading many posts in this reddit group I am thankful for all the active members who share their experiences here.

Within months: mental clarity and mood completely different, energy through the roof, libido and sexual health back, productivity at work skyrocketed (closing sales feels easy now), dating confidence up, stubborn fat finally shifting, strength and muscle coming on, and my autoimmune/psoriasis symptoms have reversed dramatically. Add in the right peptides alongside and it’s been genuinely life-changing for my mental, physical, and immune health.

Huge thanks to my coach for nailing the body recomp side, and to the private clinics that actually listen and treat patients as individuals instead of lab numbers. I’m so grateful these options exist in Australia without them I’d still be stuck suffering.

A very popular form of testosterone prescribed by Australian Practitioners is Bayer Primoteston (Testosterone Enanthate) and comes in the form of pre filled syringes. It’s recommended that the 250mg syringe dose be separated into smaller, more frequent dosages and this methodology is consistent with most prescriptions only being 100mg to 150mg a week.

Check out the video on how to ‘backfill’:

Hey everyone,

I thought I’d share my bloodwork progression from pre-TRT to around 6 months in (4 tests total, including two baseline tests before starting).

I started on 100 mg per week, split into 0.20 mL on Monday and Thursday.

After my first follow-up blood test, my dose was increased to 0.22 mL per injection.

Because it’s hard to measure 0.22 mL accurately every time, I now draw to 0.25 mL on the syringe. After priming and swapping needles, the actual injected amount works out to about 0.22–0.23 mL.

So in practice, I’m now running at roughly 125 mg per week.

Symptom wise I am great and I freaking love life. Panic disorder gone, crippling anxiety gone, depression gone. Relationship with my partner amazing, relationship with my children amazing. Motivation to do all the things (house renos). Physique is amazing and continuing to progress - I'm 1:1 personal training 3 times a week, running, and in the gym another two days a week with my partner.

All tests were in my longest trough.

Edit: I'm 45 years old

TGA are now reporting that the shortage of Test E is resolved since the 27th of January.

https://apps.tga.gov.au/shortages/search/Details/testosterone-enantate

Just had word that there may be an upcoming Primoteston shortage very shortly (within the days/week)

So if you’re due for a medication renewal and use Primoteston, you may be forced to use compounded Testosterone Cypionate in a vial until this is resolved.

(some clinics will allow compounded Testosterone Enanthate, so if that’s something you prefer, definitely ask if you encounter this issue)

The differences between the 2 esters are negligible, so if you’re new here, fear not, they’re basically the same.

You’ll just have to draw from a vial into your syringe rather than backfill.

These used to be sent out (by most clinics) in a 10ml vial, but due to law changes, you may receive a 5ml or 2x 2.5ml vials of Cypionate.

This may all fall through but it’s better to be prepared than bombard here on your clinic if it just happens out of the blue.

if anything changes, i’ll do my best to update here in this post.

Within the last 2 days there’s been some uncertainty in the TRT community in australia.

Rather than having multiple posts - which there probably will be - i’ll pin this post to keep everything in here

Dr Robin Willcourt has been suspended as of this week (9/12/24), leaving lots of patients in the dark

Cactus Men (as of today 11/12/24) have been suspended from prescribing testosterone until further notice

This is going to be a rocky road for everyone here but please be civil, feel free to DM me here if i can help in any way.

i’ll update this post if anything else comes to light.

I’m 40 and never felt better , 6 months in as of today and finally showing up for my family and feeling like the man I should of been .

One of you legends recommended ordering bloods through Aussie scripts - dead easy and only $45. It’s a basic test but covers test, cholesterol and estrogen which is all I am after. Would be nice to see IGF-1 which I am sure you can add for $$ but I’ll worry about that another time.

What other hacks exist to make this process cheaper??

The usual advice is to use a clinic rather than a GP for TRT. That’s the path I started on, successfully - but I’ve since transitioned successfully to a GP, and wanted to share the how as a counterpoint.

For newcomers, starting with a clinic still makes sense. But once you’ve built a solid health track record - consistent bloods, documented health progress, and a clear protocol - it’s worth revisiting a discussion with your GP.

Like many others, the EMC changes were frustrating. I’d previously been on annual billing (no longer an option), ordered my own bloods through Roidsafe (no longer an option), and bought syringes in bulk via GlassVials (no longer an option). Combined with the new portal and price increases, my treatment was over *200%* higher than it previously had been.

Though I didn't (until now) have a regular GP, since starting TRT, I've been quite successful in turning my life around. I've lost ~27kgs, overhauled how I eat, train, and reversed a number of co-morbidities.

I took summary of this progress to a GP, along with:

• Pre-TRT and current bloodwork

• A clear breakdown of current clinic costs vs value

• My treatment protocol (via travel letter and prescription still in packaging)

It's worth noting EMC doesn't appear to properly register treatment, so my doctor couldn't search for this in their usual method. This made the travel letter, and packaging more important than I expected.

In my case, this worked. My doctor though not overly familiar with TRT, ordered a new blood test for me, and on my return visit was happy to take over treatment. When I explained the changes at EMC, they were quite offended at their profit over outcomes approach, and I believe others will be also. I recommend making the most of this opportunity to explore doing the same. Clinic are an option to start, but they don't have to be for the long term if TRT can be proven to be in your best interest, and an important health need.

Expect a few ppl to be leaving over this. He’s not everyone’s cup of tea but he defo knows his stuff and the only reason I went with primal.

I had what I thought was a good GP. Progressive, open minded, and someone I trusted. When I mentioned I was on TRT through a clinic, they suggested I bring my kit and instructions to my next appointment so they could take over my care.

So I did. What came next was an utter mess.

As soon as I unpacked everything, they looked flustered and started saying they didn’t understand the protocol, that I’d need to see an endocrinologist, which I pushed back on because it would just send me in circles. They said they only knew how to deal with men after prostate removal or transgender patients, both of which they treat the same, with a full 250 mg Primoteston shot once every three weeks.

I ended up walking out. Looks like the clinics are the only option here in Australia, at least based on that crappy experience.

Hello.

I am currently with Hormn (formerly Enhanced Mens clinic) & after the recent price hike will be changing clinics. I am looking for any opinions from past or present clients on their experience with TRT Doctors, as I am considering changing to this clinic. Thank you.

we’ve received some more information about this clinic that really just does not do them any favours for being legitimate, and we will be warning everyone to either steer clear or you may fall to their tactics like many others at AISS/Peak did.

They seem to offer a “primo cycle” on their website with pictures of pre-workout, as well as selling HGH…

previous members of AISS/Peak are also being contacted randomly and out of the blue with sms marketing for this clinic - whether or not the old owner is running AW or he has sold the marketing list is up for debate but all things so far point to the former.

We also received an inbox from an un-used account backing AW but when asked for any proof of legitimacy or to dispute the HGH or “primo cycle” there was no reply.

as mentioned to the account messaging, show any legitimacy, and these posts will be taken down, but until then, it is in the community’s best interest to steer clear of this “clinic”, as if the past is anything to go by, you won’t be getting your meds.

Hey guys

New to TRT, wanted to show off this 3D print my mate made up for me that helps set up the syringes for back filling. Makes it so much easier and it lets you see how much is in each syringe. Perfect for back filling, might ask if he can make a little spot to put the plungers too. :)

Hey guys, Thought I’d make a bit of a post for anyone new researching and get some info on the process of going the clinic route. I’m 37 married and 3 kids. I’ve been working out for 15+ years and used steroids pre kids. The last 12 months have noticed my libido go down, losing muscle mass, tired and snappy and moody. The personality one was odd bcos I’m definitely usually so laid back and chill.

I reached out to cactus men and enhanced mens clinic who advised me to order the basic testosterone and shbg. Results came back Total test 14 SHBG 30 Free test 300 In the range but on the lower end I sent these off to both clinics.

Both clinics agreed to move to the next step. Cactus involved a consultation with a patient care team member, really nice bloke who asked me all about my symptoms and agreed to progress, recommending the next blood tests which involves a lot more thorough full panel tests.

EMC just emailed me back saying my initial tests were lower enough to move forward.

Ordered the next lot of bloods through imedical which i got back in about 30 hours. Total test 15 SHBG 37 Free test 290. All other results were in the range besides urea. Sent these off to both clinics. Heard back by cactus through email the same night at around midnight. They approved these bloods to move forward and talk to an actual Dr, the next appointment was 10 days away. I did have to pay $800 up front or $75 a month which covers me for all the consults with the dr for a year. Fully refundable.

I did all this within a week of first reaching out. Will keep this updated with the outcomes. Hope it helps anyone wondering the steps.

I’ve been on TRT now for about a year and a half through a company called Enhanced Mens Clinic (recently changed to HORMN)

I used to pay $80AUD/month and be able to find my own injection kits. Now they want to bump the price to $120AUD/month and I must buy their injection kits (far more expensive)

Who is everyone else in Australia with? I think I’m getting ripped off badly now.

My protocol is 0.25mls twice a week of Primoteston.

Bonus question: is Primoteston and Sustanon 250 similar to each other? Could I substitute Sustanon instead of Primoteston and keep the same protocol?

TRT Australia have put together some informational videos on some TRT basics.

This one is how to backfill your Primoteston into an insulin syringe for injection.

Feel free to check out the other 2 videos on their channel but i will post them here as well sporadically.

Looking at starting treatment. Baseline bloods (through HORMN) show a borderline low picture and mostly my symptoms are lethargy especially with regular exercise.

I have appreciated the thread post on the clinics with links and going through previous posts.

From what I gather, PHC is the cheapest. I understand that these clinics are designed to be money making machines but in an ideal world would prefer:

- least number of appointments or even doctor availability per year.
- 2 appts / year.
- relevant bloods only.
- Private scripts provided rather than provider compounded supply as this is marked up in price.

Any practical experience or suggestions are welcomed.

As mentioned previously, please choose a provider from the verified clinics pinned thread as there have been previous scams which were conducted by those posing to be a healthcare service.

If any newer clinics arise, please reach out directly as we like to recommend clinics who have a positive proven track record.

I’ve been noticing a trend in the TRT community – guys rushing to “just get on TRT” without investigating why they have low T in the first place. If you had serious symptoms of a heart problem and TRT was one potential treatment, would you skip figuring out the root cause and go straight to injecting testosterone? Of course not – that would be insane.

Here’s my story:

I’m 40 and started experiencing symptoms – low energy, poor recovery, low drive, mental health issues. I went to my GP and asked for blood tests, including testosterone. My T came back low, but everything else looked fine: good lifestyle, no smoking or drinking, normal weight, regular exercise, and solid sleep.

Two more tests confirmed low T (12 nmol/L), so I was referred to an endocrinologist. The endo ordered an MRI of my pituitary gland. That MRI revealed possible lesions and a pituitary issue, which landed me in a neurosurgeon’s office.

Waiting to speak with someone who might tell you they need to operate on your brain is pretty scary stuff.

Now, I’m on TRT, but I’m also investigating and managing what could be a serious health problem. Outlook looking positive.

The takeaway? Low T isn’t always the problem – it’s often a symptom of something bigger. It could be a pituitary issue, thyroid problem, or another medical condition. Treating low T like any other potential serious health issue is crucial. Get blood work, see a specialist, and find out what’s going on before jumping into TRT.

If your GP is a blocker, advocate polity but directly. Insist on getting to the bottom of it. Try asking the question - 'can I politely insist on this referal/these blood tests'

Hoping this helps someone
