Our hearts break for the women affected by the endometriosis surgery news in Melbourne — this is why transparency, accountability, and evidence-based care must always be at the centre of endometriosis treatment and women’s health.

If you have questions or concerns relating to endometriosis care, feel free to leave a comment or send us a direct message and we’ll get your questions answered from by our experts.

Only 2 in 5 Australian women understand health adequately – and we’re working to change that. [1]

Health knowledge is DEEPLY connected to health outcomes. So for years, we've been running workshops and presentations in communities to raise the health literacy levels.

Our talks focus on what matters to women: perimenopause and menopause, endometriosis and pelvic pain, stress and wellbeing, preventive health checks & more – blending evidence-based research with real stories.

We’re excited to launch this expanded service into: 💫 Health and Wellbeing Education 💫

This means we now offer:

💬 Community Education: where it all began, but we’ve doubled our team to bring more engaging women’s health workshops and topics to community groups.
💼 Corporate Education: our newest addition, helping workplaces support the women in their teams through wellbeing education.
💫 Youth Programs: engaging programs in high schools and youth spaces to help young women create healthy relationships, care for their mental health, and stay safe online.

While this year’s Rotto Swim has just been cancelled, we want to celebrate the incredible training and dedication from Esus Centre and Dream Team! We also thank all 160 donors who generously supported them to raise funds for our women's health services.

Thank you from the bottom of our heart — we hope you get to swim next year. 💫🐬

As far as we know, all donations will still go toward supporting the charities, helping women and children access our lifechanging care.

Too many women just quietly endure painful s*x and vaginal irritation after menopause! It’s common - but it’s also easily treated in most cases.

You don't have to just put up with it - speak to your GP or our Sexual Health Specialist Dr Michelle 🩺💙

We’re proud to stand alongside Telethon7 Perth once again for another big year of impact!

Their support is helping us continue delivering family programs and therapy services that strengthen the wellbeing of WA children and families, particularly for those most vulnerable.

Being backed by such an iconic WA institution is something we never take for granted.

Thank you, Telethon. 💛

A ribbon is a small thing – but it opens up a conversation. In this case, a much needed one.

When we talk about ovarian cancer, it’s easy to feel helpless. Women are diagnosed too late. There's no early detection test. The symptoms are a long list of subtle signs, or there's none at all.

Ovarian Cancer Australia are bringing us closer to a future with earlier detection, and today their donations are doubled. Head to their website to support their lifechanging research.

And between now and that future – if you're a woman reading this – trust your body and instincts and always see a health professional if something doesn’t feel right. 💙

The events happening around Australia, including the Perth attack on January 26, are saddening, shocking and distressing.

It’s natural to feel a lot amid traumatic events, especially for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander friends on January 26 – our hearts are with everyone impacted by the attack in Perth. Please take care of yourselves and know it’s okay to pause and protect your wellbeing. 💛

So many women just put up with painful s*x or a low libido during perimenopause and menopause, but there’s so much that can be done to help!

While some women aren’t bothered, for 1 in 3 this causes real distress. If this sounds familiar, you don’t have to suffer in silence. Come and speak with our wonderful Sexual Health Specialist, Dr Michelle 💙
