New Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Clinic to open in Blue Mountains

A new Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Clinic will open in the Blue Mountains in February 2026, bringing specialised care closer to home for people living with endometriosis, pelvic pain, perimenopause and menopause.

The clinic will be located within a general practice in Winmalee and is part of the Australian Government’s expansion of Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Clinics announced during the Federal Election.

Too often, people have had to travel long distances to access appropriate treatment for these conditions. The Blue Mountains Clinic will improve early access to diagnosis, treatment and referral services for those living with endometriosis and pelvic-related pain, not only in the Blue Mountains, but across the region. Additionally, the clinic will include services and support for women experiencing perimenopause and menopausal symptoms. It will also play a key role in building the capacity and expertise of local primary clinicians by assisting with training and education to increase access, diagnosis and treatment across the region overall.

We know that people living with these conditions often require a holistic approach to their care to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. As part of the service, a nurse navigator will help to coordinate services to ensure patients are linked to and connected with other supports, helping to make the process of navigating healthcare less overwhelming and ensure people are receiving the care that they need.

The establishment of these clinics marks a significant step forward in raising awareness about endometriosis, pelvic pain, perimenopause and menopause and improving the way these conditions are understood and treated in primary care.

By integrating care across services, we’re ensuring a holistic, patient-centred approach that supports people throughout their health journey.

The clinic is scheduled to open in February, and we look forward to sharing more details about its location and how to access services closer to the official launch.
