WA Primary Health Alliance (WAPHA) is proud to announce the establishment of a third Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Clinic (EPPC) in Western Australia (WA), based at Luma: for Her Health and Wellbeing in Joondalup and available to any Western Australian.
Luma has been funded through to 2028 to provide comprehensive care for women experiencing endometriosis, pelvic pain, perimenopause and menopause. Services will commence in January 2026, with a multidisciplinary team providing holistic care for what can often be complex health conditions.
This funding will also support workforce training, purchasing of equipment and improved referral pathways to strengthen collaboration across the health system.
Following the Australian Government’s commitment of $16.4 million over four years to establish targeted EPPCs, WAPHA secured funding for two clinics in 2023 – The Garden Medical in Murdoch and Pioneer Health Albany in country WA.
Building on this, the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing last year announced an expansion of the program to 33 clinics nationwide, enabling services to broaden their scope to include care for perimenopause and menopause alongside endometriosis and pelvic pain.
The addition of Luma as a provider marks a significant step forward in improving health outcomes for women across WA, reinforcing WAPHA’s commitment to accessible, high-quality primary health care.
Anyone experiencing symptoms of endometriosis, pelvic pain, perimenopause or menopause can self-refer to any of these services.
Additionally, to ensure continuity of care, information regarding treatment, outcomes and ongoing care plans is shared with each patient’s usual GP.
“We know conditions like endometriosis and pelvic pain can have a profound impact on women’s lives, often leading to years of diagnostic delay and unnecessary suffering.
“By expanding these clinics and including care for perimenopause and menopause, we are ensuring women across WA have access to timely, coordinated and compassionate care.
“Luma for Her Health will play a critical role in delivering this support to the community in Perth’s northern suburbs and beyond.”
– WA Primary Health Alliance CEO Bernadette Kenny.
‘We’re excited to offer compassionate, expert care through our new Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Clinic. Our dedicated team supports women experiencing pelvic pain – including endometriosis, adenomyosis, and PCOS – and those navigating the challenges of perimenopause or menopause. We’re passionate about breaking down barriers, really listening to women, and helping them move through every stage of life with comfort, confidence, and care.”
– Luma CEO, Bethany Lord
