This thought-provoking panel will explore the often-overlooked realities of endometriosis — a chronic condition affecting millions worldwide. From misdiagnosis and fertility challenges to the emotional toll, the discussion will highlight how endometriosis exposes deeper gaps in women’s healthcare, research, and funding.

Yet this is also a story of hope and change. Hear from leading gynaecologists, women’s health specialists, and passionate advocates, and discover the latest insights and innovations. This includes the recently launched Ainsworth Endometriosis Research Institute at UNSW, a world-first initiative dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by endometriosis
