Is it possible to get on T as a minor with one parent's approval?

I'm based in South Australia and I'm 14. I hit puberty at like 10 so I think I'm past the stage of puberty blockers being useful(?). I have a somewhat supportive mum but a somewhat absent dad I'm not out to (and I don't feel the need to tell him)—he is pretty transphobic. So I'm wondering if it's possible to be able to get testosterone?

Also I've brought this up to my gp before and he wasn't very helpful, he only spoke about how in our culture it's unusual for people to be trans and that I'm pretty young, etc. (this was during an unrelated appointment however so I guess circumstances weren't ideal for that sort of discussion).

I'm thinking about asking my mum to schedule an appointment so I can talk about this more with my GP, but I'm pretty worried she'll keep on putting it off
