For each person living with endo, there’s a story.

Some chapters feel undeniably shared—and there’s true comfort in that.

But some passages are just yours. Experiences with endo that make you feel utterly alone.

Most of these happen before a diagnosis—in those times when the pain is so severe you can’t believe this is a ‘normal’ cycle. Even when they say it is.

The times when you can’t walk straight. Or think straight in the darkness of another migraine.

For you, it might be one of the cousins of endometriosis, adenomyosis or PCOS. But the commonalities and shared stories are what bring us together—which is exactly how Endometriosis WA began.

A Facebook group became a volunteer-driven not-for-profit organisation that opened the first bio-bank in Australia for endometriotic tissue.

Because here, we’re also writing the story of change. Advocacy aimed at unravelling the gaslighting, medicine focused on localised care, research that will lead to better diagnostic tools and treatments.

Our story is here in WA, with you, those who have endometriosis (or adenomyosis or PCOS) and your support people.

Awareness & Education

Awareness and education are the cornerstones of improving understanding and support from the wider community, and for empowering people affected by endometriosis to advocate for themselves.

Research & Engagement

We recognise the critical importance of research into the causes, early diagnosis, prevention, treatment, management and possible cure for endometriosis.

Peer
Support

EndometriosisWA is a 100% volunteer-run organisation. Our volunteers are all intimately aware of what it’s like to live with Endometriosis which we firmly believe helps us to better support and understand what you’re going through.

Endometriosis Western Australia WArriors is available 24-7 for those seeking a diagnosis or already diagnosed with endometriosis or adenomyosis.

We are a volunteer driven not-for-profit organisation supporting Western Australians affected by endometriosis.
