The best source I found is the ALSO (Alternative Life Styles
Organisation) directory - "Australia's first and most comprehensive
directory of business and community groups offering services to the
gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex community."
The ALSO 2006 Directory: http://www.also.org.au/directory/
From there I went to the "Transgender" section, and selected the
following organisations which I believe are geographically suitable:

Here you can view all the organisations listed in the Transgender
section of the ALSO Directory:
http://www.also.org.au/directory/index.php?module=list&groupid=436
I also came across the The Rainbow Network:
"Rainbow Network is the Statewide Network for workers who facilitate
groups, coordinate projects or work with same sex attracted, bisexual,
queer and transgender young people."
Rainbow Network meetings are open to members of the Network and
invited guests, so you will need to refer to the "Membership" section
of the website for details. The city-based meetings take place in
Melbourne, and the rural/meetings will be held across Victoria. Click
on: "Meetings 2006"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition to the above, there are 47 people listed on
Outpersonals.com in VIctoria who are looking to meet: men, gay couples
(2 guys), bi couples (woman and bi man), groups or TS/TV/TG.
This the is the link, but may need to confirm you are over 18 before
you can view the ads:

I hope the information I've provided is helpful, and I hope you meet
nice new friends. If anything is unclear, please feel free to ask for
