Matilda Health’s Beyond the Pain event in Broome brought together community and clinicians to discuss endometriosis and pelvic pain. We explored the gaps in care, the importance of pre- and post-surgery support, and how digital programs can improve recovery and connection in regional Australia.

Some days, just getting to an appointment feels like a huge effort.
