This targeted grant opportunity is in line with GO6054 (2022 round to all PHNs), providing an additional $0.783 million over three years in grant funding to support the establishment of an additional Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain GP Clinic (GP clinic) in a primary care setting in the Adelaide PHN. This funding opportunity is targeted due to population density and service delivery needs in the Adelaide Metropolitan Area, and to ensure that the pain treatment, focus on GP clinics that currently deliver services focused on women’s health, and which are aimed at improving provision of diagnosis, treatment and management of endometriosis and pelvic pain.
