About the Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Clinic
Embedded Files
The Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Clinic is delivered by Northside Health NT and funded by the Australian Government to provide specialised care for pelvic pain and endometriosis until 2026.
This funding supports a new model of care that aims to reduce delays in diagnosis, improve access to evidence-based treatment, and bring different clinicians together in one place. Rather than seeing separate providers in different locations, patients can receive coordinated care through one clinic.
Our clinic uses a multidisciplinary, person-centred approach. This means your medical care, pelvic health physiotherapy, psychological support and lifestyle advice are planned together, with your goals placed at the core.
We see girls, women, and people who were assigned female at birth who experience pelvic pain and/or endometriosis. For eligible patients, services are provided at no or low cost.
This education program is one part of our care model. It is designed to support your understanding, help you feel prepared, and make the most of your time with us.
Our Approach to Care
Our Approach to Care
Pelvic pain is complex and often has more than one cause. Our clinic brings together different types of clinicians who each focus on part of the picture and then work as a team.
Our approach is:
Multidisciplinary – medical care, pelvic health physiotherapy, psychology and dietetic support are available within one clinic
Person centred – your goals, values and preferences guide the treatment plan
Education focused – we provide clear information so you understand your condition and the options available
Longterm – we review your progress and adjust the plan over time rather than relying on a single appointment
You are asked to complete this online education program before your first visit so you arrive with a clear overview of pelvic pain and possible treatments. This helps us use your clinic time to focus on what matters most to you and to build a plan that feels realistic and achievable in your daily life.
Your Care Team
