Politics in Pelvic Pain

July 2024

Last July, Pelvic Pain Victoria (PPV) hosted an evening dinner that brought people from all sectors to the table, creating an important space for collective discussion and collaboration.

PPV then held a sector-wide roundtable event focused on pelvic pain, endometriosis, and the Women’s Pain Inquiry. The event brought together policy makers, consumers, clinicians, researchers, and organisations to reflect on what is working well, what isn’t, and what solutions could improve care for those living with pelvic pain in Victoria.

The session was solutions-focused, with participants sharing ideas, identifying priorities, and helping shape a collective vision for meaningful change. By the conclusion of the event, PPV had gathered insights to guide sector-wide priorities and to inform a formal group submission to the Women’s Pain Inquiry.

Registered attendees received the agenda in advance, and a summary of findings was sent to all who participated.
