Endometriosis Australia

About 

Endometriosis Australia is the preeminent peak body for endometriosis in Australia. Since 2013, the organisation has been leading the charge nationally and internationally in raising awareness and understanding of endometriosis.

Endometriosis Australia lobbied for and supported the development of Australia’s first National Action Plan for Endometriosis (NAPE), aimed at improving patient and medical community understanding of the disease. This was a continuation of the organisation driving the first discussion of endometriosis in Parliament in 2017.

Endometriosis Australia is a nationally accredited charity that raises awareness, educates and funds research for endometriosis. We are committed to empowering patients with the knowledge to be in control of their healthcare and promoting patient-centred care solutions.

Despite the growing awareness of endometriosis, the community and many health professionals lack a genuine understanding of the life-defining disease, which affects 1 in 7 women, 14% of the population and has no cure. Efforts have reduced the diagnosis time from 7-12 years to 6.5 years on average, but much work still needs to be done.

Ways to Get Involved

There are many ways to support Endometriosis Australia. Help raise vital funds that will go towards research, awareness and ultimately putting an end to endo.
