URGENT UPDATE: A new endometriosis and pelvic pain clinic is set to open in Werribee by early 2026, providing critical support for women and girls battling these often debilitating conditions. Located within the Werribee Medical and Dental Centre, this clinic will be one of 11 new facilities established across Australia as part of a federal initiative to enhance women’s health care.
Authorities confirm that this clinic is part of the federal government’s comprehensive $800 million investment through the Women’s Health Package, aimed at improving access to healthcare for women and girls. Currently, approximately one in seven Australian women suffer from endometriosis, with many experiencing delays of up to seven years for a proper diagnosis.
Lalor MP Joanne Ryan expressed her pride in the clinic’s upcoming launch, stating, “I hear from so many people in my community about the need for more specialised care in our region that meets the specific needs of women and girls, and I am so pleased we are delivering this clinic.” She emphasized the transformative potential of appropriate treatment for those affected by endometriosis and pelvic pain.
As these specialized clinics roll out nationwide, they promise to deliver better access, more choices, and reduced costs for local women. The opening of the Werribee clinic is a significant step forward for many who have long awaited targeted care.
In addition to focusing on endometriosis, the clinic will also address issues related to perimenopause and menopause, expanding the scope of care available to women in the area.
WHAT’S NEXT: As the clinic gears up for its launch, community members are encouraged to stay informed about the services offered and the potential impact on their health journey. With the federal government prioritizing women’s health, the Werribee clinic is expected to be a vital resource for many.
