Such important research. I know Marie will do a great job with it!

Good luck.

Has a similar letter been written to ALL Parties ?? Please share the responses from ALL Parties. There’s also no time frame commitment and rather loosely references a commitment to “continue to implement a plan “ how long is this “plan” going to take to implement and at what cost ? How about a commitment to make laparoscopy and other diagnostic procedures more affordable and more readily available so women aren’t having to wait 7-10 years for proper diagnosis ?? How about increasing the rate of cover for Medicare so women aren’t paying gaps of 2-10k + for these diagnostic surgeries ?? Research funding is important, but access to affordable treatment for those presently suffering is equally important . 10 million isn’t going to cover it. !

Wow, I get that there is no time frame the budget is small, but holy hell at lest we are now being heard, it has only been in the last 18mth that we have been able to have any form of voice and now look at us. I don't really care for politics, they are as bad as each other however if this does go ahead, you can all bet that Syl and the rest of us amazing women will make sure that this is only the start, and thats what that letter is, its a starting point. We will keep flighting for better.

This is Liberals statement from 9th of April. Nice to see that they specifically state EndoActive is getting $160,000! www.health.gov.au/internet/ministers/publishing.nsf/Content/health-mediarel-yr2019-hunt123.htm

Woo hoo this is exactly what I’ve been looking for on their website to confirm who I vote for. Thanks Syl! If you write back, can you ask them to update their website with this information so everybody knows - as this has become so important for so many Australians.

Isn’t this just the same as what the Liberal government has already promised to invest?

This is great! It's not much in the big picture, but any help is welcomed as well is any type of awareness. And while I wholeheartedly support you and all you have done for #endometriosisawareness in Australia and NZ, I feel it's really important to ask why everything you guys write about endo is so gendered and always centred around women and women's health? Whilst I understand endo is a disease that *mainly* affects women, a more accurate way of describing it is to say that it affects people with uteruses and ovaries. You are being praised in the letter that you posted up for "powerfully advocating for WOMEN and GIRLS that suffer endometriosis", which I also salute you for, but honestly find reductionist and really exclusionary to trans men, GNC and non-binary people in Australia & NZ who also suffer from the disease. If you haven't heard of him already, I would really recommend having a look at Cori Smith and reading up on his experiences as a trans man and fellow #endowarrior. We suffer enough having to deal with this disease, it is heartbreaking to me that we might be indirectly responsible for further suffering of #endowarriors that don't identify as female; and would not feel included or supported in forums such as these. I have personally learned so much from this page, and have felt supported, however, hashtags such as #endosisters or #endogirlgang are making me more and more uncomfortable - and I am a straight cis woman. I think it's a really important conversation to have when it comes to our fellow GNC, non-binary and trans #endowarriors out there <3 DISCLAIMER: I am not interested in any conversations with any TERFs on this thread. It is 2019 and that type of crap should not even be part of the conversation here. And if it happens to be tolerated here then it's much more telling of EndoActive Australia & NZ than anything else. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eczxr0bYAxw

Labor will be getting my vote this election as well !!!!

When Bill Shorten was Assistant Treasurer, Labor delayed the listing of medicines for: ❌ Severe asthma ❌ Schizophrenia ❌ Chronic pain ❌ Endometriosis ❌ Blood clots ❌ Lung disease ❌ Enlarged prostates

Know who I'm voting for

Syl, what’s the latest on a disability pension for Endometriosis and better medicate and health care rebates?

Fantastic News! Excellent job as always!!!

What about a few million towards more excision surgery training/fellowships for Gynecologist in Australia. That's what we should be asking for!!
