Australian Bank Offers Paid Gender Affirmation Leave for Transgender Employees.

SunCorp, a banking, finance and insurance corporation in Australia, is offering six weeks of paid leave to employees who want to change their legal sex, undergo surgery or other steps related to changing their gender. The move is to reinforce their commitment to inclusivity and give employees the time and financial support required to engage in the steps they need to affirm their gender. The leave can be used to come out as transgender, change their pronouns, buy clothes that match their gender identity, change their name or gender on official documents, or undergo surgery and hormone therapy.
