ACT Inquiry on Pelvic Pain Conditions
Update: 2025-12-08
Description
The Australian Capital Territory government is initiating an inquiry into endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and other pelvic pain conditions. The Standing Committee on Social Policy will lead this investigation, aiming to understand delayed diagnoses and potential medical misogyny. Endometriosis, affecting one in seven Australian women, often takes six and a half years to diagnose, impacting daily life and fertility. Other conditions like adenomyosis and PCOS also contribute to widespread pelvic pain. A recent Victorian inquiry found gender bias and systemic barriers in healthcare often result in misdiagnoses or delayed care for womens pain. This new inquiry seeks to gather submissions from affected individuals and specialists to find solutions and improve outcomes for those living with pelvic pain.
