10% of women suffer with endometriosis at some point in their life. Endomtriosis is a common disease in which the tissue that is similiar to the lining of the womb grows outside it in other parts of the body.

The Morrison Government has committed funding to support endometriosis awareness and education programs, clinical management and care, and research.

On 26th July 2018, Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt launched the National Action Plan for Endometriosis, which outlines a new approach to improving awareness and understanding of endometriosis, speeding up diagnosis and developing better diagnostic and treatment options.

At the launch, Minister Hunt announced a further $1.2 million to help implement the recommendations of the Action Plan, bringing total investment to $4.7 million.
