Impact of the organisation

Founded in 2012, Endometriosis Australia is leading the charge to transform how endometriosis is understood, diagnosed, and treated across the country. As a national charity, it empowers those affected through vital support services, trusted education, and strong advocacy, while driving forward groundbreaking research.

With a mission to break down stigma and end the isolation so many experience, the organisation is reshaping the conversation around endometriosis. Their work includes advocating for improved government support and specialist care, creating educational resources, funding research, and delivering programs such as the EndoAcademy Nurses Scholarship program to support regional communities. Endometriosis Australia also leads national awareness campaigns and initiatives designed to help reduce the time between symptoms and diagnosis while improving outcomes for people living with endometriosis.

Endometriosis Australia hosts a range of events and works to build partnerships to support them. Their events include Endometriosis Awareness Month initiatives such as Worldwide EndoMarch, March into Yellow, and Endo Enlightened, alongside annual High Tea events, virtual symposiums, webinars, and community engagement activities that bring together healthcare professionals, advocates, supporters, and people with lived experience.
