Expression of Interest: Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain GP Clinics

The Australian Government has committed $770,000 over three years to support one GP practice in the Darling Downs and West Moreton PHN region to enhance its capability and capacity to care for patients with endometriosis, pelvic pain, and perimenopause or menopause symptoms.

The funding will enable an existing GP practice with a focus on women’s health to become a specialised Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Clinic (EPPC). The Clinic will aim to improve the diagnosis and management of endometriosis and pelvic pain, offering timely, appropriate care and better pain management for affected patients.

The selected EPPC will be formally commissioned by the Darling Downs and West Moreton PHN and will be subject to associated reporting and accountability requirements.

This investment is part of a national initiative expanding the EPPC network from 22 to 33 clinics across Australia.

Purpose

The intention of these EPPCs is to maximise the role of GP/nurse led multidisciplinary care teams to embed the management of endometriosis and pelvic pain and treatment of perimenopause and menopause symptoms, as a core part of the care pathway for these conditions optimising primary care.

It is expected that this Clinic will enable appropriate endometriosis care and management, leading to improved diagnosis timeframes and appropriate pain management for impacted patients. EPPCs can also provide care, support, treatment and management of symptoms associated with menopause, including throughout the menopause transition (perimenopause) and post-menopause.
