Reconciliation isn't a once-a-year event. It isn't what's written on a RAP plan.

It's how we show up every single day. It's how we infuse cultural safety, safe spaces, and true reconciliation into our services for Aboriginal women, children, and communities.

Today was a poignant reminder that walking alongside First Nations peoples, championing their stories and voices, and building a better future together isn't just something we continue — it's something we must keep stepping up.

Thank you Reconciliation WA for the space, the truth-telling, and the reminder of why this work is urgent, necessary and full of meaning – we are ALL IN 🖤❤️💛

To the Stolen Generations, and to Aboriginal women, children, and communities — we are truly sorry. We see the grief, the trauma, and the strength it takes to carry it.

Today we heard incredible stories of hardship, struggle and of systems that have consistently failed Aboriginal people. But also of incredible resilience, of love for culture and community, and of what it takes to keep going.

Thank you Michelle Nelson-Cox and Rozy Bynder from the South West Land and Sea Council for trusting us to share your stories, and working tirelessly so Aboriginal people have the same opportunities as everyone else.

A big shout out to Kuditj Kitchen for feeding us today – Perth's only Aboriginal owned and operated catering facility.

Gut-brain disorders, neurodiversity, and eating disorders often overlap – but they're rarely addressed together.

Our Body Esteem Program team attended the WAEDOCS Symposium 2026 to learn all about this, with other experts and lived experience. 💛

We left with tools to better support our neurodiverse clients (simple things like lighting adjustments to address sensory challenges and asking clients what they need make a big difference) as well as focusing on whole-person, multidisciplinary care – a value that's already deeply rooted in all Luma services.

Thank you North Metropolitan Health Service!

Painful periods are common, but they're not normal.

So many women cancel plans and suffer with pain every month – not knowing a diagnosis, treatment plan and health knowledge can change that. 🧡🩺

If your period gets in the way of life, it's worth talking to an expert! Our women's health GPs and nurses are in Northbridge, Joondalup and Shenton Park.

The 2026-27 federal budget — what it means for women in WA 👇

There are some real wins in this budget. Better access to healthcare, stronger protections against abuse, and more support for working mothers... Real progress worth knowing!

But there's still a long way to go — out-of-pocket health costs remain high, demand for family violence services is outpacing funding, and women continue to carry a disproportionate financial load at every stage of life.

Here's a brief summary of what's changed for women's health, swipe through. 🧡

PCOS > PMOS: the biggest patient-led renaming process in modern medicine 👏👏👏

After 14 years of global collaboration, 22,000 survey responses, and 56 patient and professional organisations, PCOS has officially been renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome, (PMOS), in a landmark paper published yesterday in The Lancet led by Professor Helena Teede at Monash University.

The old name was misleading — "polycystic" suggested the condition was all about ovarian cysts, when in reality it's a complex hormonal disorder affecting the whole body: metabolism, weight, mental health, skin, and the reproductive system. PMOS accurately captures what women are experiencing, which should lead to better diagnosis, research, and care. 🧡

Thank you to everyone who showed up for our women's heart health walk with Heart Foundation!

Heart disease is the leading killer of women globally — yet symptoms and warning signs present differently in women, and are often missed. Movement is medicine, and the more women know about their heart health, the better their outcomes. 🫀☀️🚶‍♀️

Sending love to the tired mothers, the grieving mothers, and those grieving a mother. To the chosen mothers, the exhausted mothers, and the ones simply getting through the day.
