Join us for a transformative one-day event focused on the latest research and integrative approaches to managing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Endometriosis. These two common conditions of the female reproductive system impact the quality of life for many women across Australia, presenting significant challenges in diagnosis and treatment.  

Our event brings together leading experts in the field of women’s health to provide a comprehensive overview of these two complex conditions, the latest diagnostic techniques and an evidence-based exploration of effective dietary, nutritional, and lifestyle strategies to improve patient outcomes. 

Understanding PCOS and Endometriosis 

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Endometriosis are complex and multifaceted conditions that affect a significant number of women and those assigned female at birth in Australia. PCOS is not a single disease but a heterogeneous syndrome with multiple underlying biological mechanisms. This event will explore a patient-centred approach to PCOS management by examining key drivers and mechanisms such as neuroendocrine disturbances, insulin resistance, and adrenal hyperresponsiveness. 

Endometriosis remains a frequently under-recognised and under-diagnosed condition causing severe pelvic pain and infertility. The prevalence of these conditions is rising, highlighting the importance of a deeper understanding and improved management strategies. 

You will be in the hands of experts. Come and build your understanding of how to effectively diagnose and manage these common conditions in women. 

 The Alarming Statistics

• PCOS affects approximately 1 in 10 women of reproductive age, with a prevalence rate of around 21% among Indigenous women. 
• PCOS is the leading cause of infertility in women. 
• Endometriosis affects 1 in 9 Australian women and up to 50% of those experiencing infertility. 
• The rate of endometriosis hospitalisations has doubled among women aged 20–24 over the past decade. 
• In Australia, individuals with period pain or other gynaecological symptoms wait an average of 6.4 years before being diagnosed with endometriosis.
