Endometriosis support group
Be a part of Melbourne’s online and in-person endometriosis support group, at the Julia Argyrou Endometriosis Centre at Epworth.
Living with endometriosis? You are not alone.
Join us at our meetings for support, information and understanding. The support group started at Epworth Freemasons, in response to a need expressed by patients. It’s a positive space for people to share their stories with others who understand, and special guests who provide guidance and support.
Support group details
- Bi-monthly
- Online or at Epworth Freemasons, East Melbourne
Who can attend?
The support group is open to all, not just people treated at Epworth. It’s free to join us, supper is provided and partners are most welcome.
