Australian Government expands Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Clinics into Perth’s North – EOIs close 22 July 

As the operator of WA’s three Primary Health Networks (PHNs), WA Primary Health Alliance (WAPHA) in conjunction with the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing (DHDA), is seeking expressions of interest from general practices specialising in women’s health to participate in the Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Clinic expansion of one clinic in the Perth North PHN region.

The Australian Government has announced funding of $19.6 million over three years to support the establishment of 11 new Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Clinics (including one new clinic in the Perth North PHN). This expansion will increase the network of clinics from 22 to 33 across Australia, while also enhancing care, support, treatment and management of symptoms for perimenopause and menopause.

 Eligibility requirements: 

  • Existing general practices operating in the Perth North PHN boundary that specialise in women’s health, including endometriosis, pelvic pain management, perimenopause and menopause
  • Currently reporting into Primary Sense, or willing to do so, on commencement of the service
  • RACGP accredited.

The DHDA is commissioning PHNs to administer and manage the program on behalf of the Australian Government, including shortlisting of applicants, entering into agreements and making eligible payments to participating practices.  DHDA will complete the final evaluation and selection. One practice will be selected to operate the EPPC.  

Find out more and submit your EOI to WAPHA by Tuesday, 22 July 2025.
