Graham has been working in sexual health and HIV for over 25 years both clinically and in public health.  Graham returned to Brisbane in 2013 and has been with Stonewall since that time caring for many transgender, non-binary and other gender diverse people, intersex patients, and people with HIV and other STIs.

From 2011-2012, Graham worked as an international consultant in sexual health and development and supported a major WHO consultation on transgender health in 2012.  Prior to that, he spent 10 years in Bangkok as the Technical Advisor on Sexual and Reproductive Health with Family Health International. He has worked in many different settings in Australia as well as countries in Asia and Africa elsewhere. 

Graham's expertise includes improving the quality of HIV and sexual health care and for men who have sex with men, transgender people, sex workers, and injecting drug users. He offers treatment for men with erectile dysfunction and testosterone deficiency. He is the author of many papers on sexual health issues and has written several book chapters on the area.
