EndoThrive Workplace Accreditation Program

An Australian government report revealed that endometriosis costs Australian society $9.7 billion each year, with two-thirds of these costs attributed to lost productivity, with the remaining $2.5 billion covering direct healthcare costs.

While further research is needed, our goal is to start conversations with employers and employees about managing endometriosis in the workplace.

Endometriosis Australia’s Workplace Accreditation Program helps organisations to take sustainable and strategic action to support their employees with endometriosis.

About the Endo@Work Research

Endometriosis Australia supported the efforts of Southern Cross University and Western Sydney University’s NICM Health Research Institute to conduct a national survey of 389 participants with a confirmed diagnosis of endometriosis.
The aim of the survey was to explore how endometriosis can affect a person’s career and how workplace changes may impact the management of endometriosis.

What is the Endo@Work project?

Research from the Endo@Work Study demonstrated that making simple modifications at the workplace can provide support during symptom presentation and significantly enhance productivity for individuals with endometriosis.
