It's never been easier to prevent cervical cancer! In fact, Cancer Council Australia researchers predict that Australia will eliminate cervical cancer as a public health problem in the next 20 years. 💫

This is all thanks to the combined effect of:
💛 The free HPV vaccine for under 25s.
💛 Cervical screening every five years from ages 25 to 74 for anyone with a cervix — with your doctor, nurse, or through easy self-collection.

If it's time for your screening, book with our lovely nurses or doctors in Northbridge or Joondalup.

We were fortunate to have talented artist and proud Yamatji woman, Loretta Egan's artwork, design this custom piece for our space! 🖤❤️💛

It’s inspired by women’s stories, nature, people gathering, Aboriginal culture, bush tucker, and more. You’ll soon see this on our wall, in our promotions, and it will also be the backdrop for our staff kitchen!

This artwork in our space celebrates women’s strength, women’s wellbeing, women’s communities. It connects us to culture, healing and to each other. Thank you Loretta!

After a decade of counselling women and gender diverse people through trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, self-esteem, eating disorders & more - Shannon, our gentle and compassionate counsellor, is now a registered psychologist with the Psychology Board of Australia and AHPRA. 🥳

Shannon’s psychology registration means she can now bring more evidence-based therapy options and in-depth support to clients at Luma.

Booking with Shannon for psychology will offer:
🧠💭 expanded therapeutic approaches
🧠💭 shorter wait times
🧠💭 access to Medicare rebates (where applicable)

'‘My approach is grounded in warmth, authenticity, compassion and respect for everyone’s unique and diverse experiences. My practice is LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse affirming, culturally responsive, and guided by values of fairness and equality. I believe in supporting people with safety, sensitivity, and genuine care.’ - Shannon.

Session fees for psychology appointments are $180, or $81.05 with a Mental Health Care Plan. This reflects Shannon’s expanded qualifications and scope of practice as a registered psychologist, and the additional therapeutic options that she now offers.

If you’re currently on our counselling waitlist and would like to transition to psychology sessions, or if you're an interested first-time client, please call us to enquire on 6330 5400.

Women’s pain is widespread and often ignored. 🩸

A recent inquiry in Victoria found, alarmingly, that 90% of women were experiencing pain that lasts over a year mostly from periods, endometriosis, or arthritis.

In our clinics, pelvic pain is especially common and we see, over and over again, how the right diagnosis or treatment plan can truly be lifechanging.

If you're a woman experiencing pain, you shouldn't have to just push through it. Visit a health clinic run for women, by women:

This Christmas, 1 in 6 children are living below the poverty line in Australia.

It isn't magical when you're choosing between groceries and gifts. For some of the women and families accessing Luma's services, the festive season can be a stark reminder of what they can't afford.

Last Christmas, Tamara* had $8 in the bank and two children expecting Santa. When Luma staff handed over gifts, it meant the world to know that there are people who care about her family.

This year, we're asking for your help to join us in making spirits bright. We are seeking donations that will support our goal of giving to 200 Perth families.

"Shouting 'self-care' at people who actually need community care is how we fail people," – Community organiser and researcher, Nakita Valerio.

Community connection is an essential part of health and wellbeing – it lowers your blood pressure, boosts your immune system, lowers the risk of chronic diseases and reduces stress, depression and anxiety.

Here’s a little shout-out to the magic of community and the amazing events that have brought us together recently. 💛

💫 Breast Cancer Awareness stall in the city
💫 Luma stall at the Telethon Weekend
💫 Midland’s annual NAIDOC event
💫 Sea Gals x Luma collaboration
💫 The Stress Cascade talk with Health Promotions

✨ Celebrating Saumya! ✨

Saumya has been a student (and absolute star) in our Health Promotions team, contributing 450 hours and showing up to just about every event imaginable to share women's health information across Perth.

This week is her last with us, and she wrapped it up by delivering a presentation - researched and created entirely by her - on menstrual cycles to high school girls! The session sparked a room full of questions and conversations.

We'll have to replace your role, Saumya, but we won't be able to replace YOU.
Thank you for your incredible contribution to Luma. ❤️

Welcome Amy! Our new Advanced Practice Nurse, who comes from managing health programs in conflict zones, refugee camps, and hospitals around the world. 💫🌍

Amy-Louise Curtis has dedicated her career to providing health services where it’s needed most, having worked with the incredible NGO that locates health workers into conflict zones Médecins Sans Frontières / MSF and the humanitarian group who protects people affected by conflict and violence, International Committee of the Red Cross.

She has over 18 years of nursing experience, holds a Master’s in Public Health and Tropical Medicine, and has extensive experience in women’s health — such as providing access to contraception, cervical screening, reproductive health, and care for survivors of gender-based violence.

It’s people like Amy who inspire us to keep improving the lives of more women through health access. We can’t wait to see the impact she’ll make at Luma. 💙
