Groups are incredible ways to access therapeutic support, while connecting with other women on a similar path.

Starting February, we’re running a huge variety of health and wellbeing groups at Luma — all safe, welcoming spaces led by truly people who truly understand, listen and care. 🧡

Here's a few amazing options, or explore our full group program at: https://luma.org.au/learn/whats-on/

If you're a woman, there's a one-in-two chance you've suffered from pelvic pain in the last five years [1].

For too long, women have asked for their pain to be recognised, understood and treated – and we’re proud to be helping change this.

This week, we opened the doors to our new federally funded Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain clinic in Joondalup – a much-needed service for women experiencing any type of pelvic pain – endometriosis, PCOS, adenomyosis, and beyond: https://shorturl.at/BM5B5

Secondly, for International Women's Day, we're bringing pelvic pain and endometriosis knowledge into the medical field by hosting a brand-new event series for general practitioners, led by a panel of experts. Please share with any general practitioners and medical experts that you know: https://shorturl.at/Lvsi5

Together, we can ensure every woman gets the care and treatment she deserves.

We were delighted to welcome Hon Rebecca White MP, Tom French MP, and Bernadette Kenny from WA Primary Health Alliance to our Joondalup medical clinic today, as we shared our excitement about launching our new Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Clinic this January! 📣

Almost half of Australian women experience pelvic pain — often for too long, and in silence. In partnership with the federal government, this new clinic will help provide the care and support they truly deserve. We’re grateful for the government’s strong commitment to improving women’s health in WA.

Every woman deserves to live without their pain being dismissed or overlooked. This clinic isn’t just for one condition like endometriosis, PCOS, or adenomyosis — it’s for anyone experiencing pelvic pain. It’s designed and run by a multidisciplinary team of women’s health specialists who understand, listen, and care. We're also thrilled to offer holistic support for women in perimenopause and menopause (who don't need to be experiencing pelvic pain to access our care).

We’re getting ready to open this month, and bookings for our Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Clinic will open on Monday! Keep an eye on our social media channels for more details.

Something extraordinary happened in the lead up to this Christmas!

Thanks to our incredible community, we delivered our biggest Christmas appeal yet, sending hope to women, children and families who need it most.

We’re proud to have delivered:
🎁Gifts to 240 vulnerable children in the Luma community. A huge shout out to HWLE Lawyers Perth Statutory Insurance Team for their generous contribution and the volunteers who wrapped them all!
🎁 50 care packages donated to vulnerable women at Luma, thanks to Women in Surveying & Spatial Sciences WA.
🎁 $3,500 worth of grocery vouchers provided to Perth families struggling with the cost of living thanks to Christmas Appeal donations.
🎁 7 massive hampers filled with groceries and living essentials gifted to local families in hardship donated by The Plant at Banksia Grove
🎁 100 beautifully knitted handmade items to new mothers and families made with love by City of South Perth Knitting Group
🎁 100 meal vouchers for those with no place to go on Christmas day with thanks to Mission Australia.

Our goal was to make spirits bright for vulnerable, disadvantaged and at risk children and families this Christmas. We will never forget seeing one of our young clients opening her present with wide eyes and an infectious giggle. Seeing the impact of our Christmas Appeal in real time made our hearts full!

To our partners, supporters, and the silent donators who've chosen to remain anonymous – thank you. You've reminded families in our community that they're not alone, and that kindness still exists in abundance. To the team at Luma who have been coordinating, delivering and supporting the appeal behind the scenes – we see you and thank you too.

Shout out to our fundraising lead, Krista, for making this happen. If you're interested in supporting Luma through donations, fundraising or events, reach out to krista@luma.org.au.

This is what community looks like.

📢 We still need your help to support 200 families!

This year, we’ve already raised an amazing $4,500 thanks to the generosity of so many people. However, we still have families within the Luma community who are struggling to put food on the table. We are seeking final donations to support them with the cost of living this Christmas.

Around 840 million women have experienced partner or sexual violence in their lifetime, according to a new report from the World Health Organisation.

There has sadly only been a tiny annual decline of 0.2 per cent over two decades.

Change is needed. Action is overdue. Every girl and women deserves to be safe, heard and respected.

Thank you to everyone standing with survivors and demanding change. 🧡

When we speak up against abuse, harassment, sexism and unhealthy attitudes (even the very early signs) we start to change the culture that allows family and domestic violence to grow.

These acts are often ignored, dismissed or silenced, way too often. And they're present in our homes, communities, workplaces and everyday lives.

Every time we challenge harmful attitudes, we make space for safety, respect, and equality to take root, and that's how we gradually shift culture.

To everyone raising their voice, supporting survivors and standing up for what’s right – thank you for doing the work. 🧡

Many people find themselves in relationships where care turns into control, or affection slowly becomes fear. It doesn’t happen overnight — and it’s never your fault.

Understanding what unhealthy love looks is the start of getting our power back, so we can recognise harm, reach out for help, and slowly, safely take steps forward. Everyone deserves love that's safe, and healthy.

If you're experiencing any red flags mentioned, visit 1800RESPECT.org.au for information and support. 🧡
