We provide practical and emotional support to encourage those living with endometriosis to take control of their condition and to feel heard.

Endometriosis in the workplace

We place huge value on sharing stories of lived experiences of endometriosis, to highlight the realities of managing this condition. As a part of our Endometriosis in the Workplace Campaign, we connected with 5 brave individuals who were willing to share their experience managing their condition in their workplace environment. These videos were created as Q&A's hosted by our incredible Endometriosis New Zealand Ambassador Susie Ferguson. You can watch all of the videos on our YouTube account below.

2025-2026 Research Project

Endometriosis New Zealand, in partnership with the University of Canterbury, is launching a major research study on the barriers and facilitators of endometriosis management in Aotearoa New Zealand. This significant project will capture the lived experiences of people with endometriosis through a national survey series. The research aims to gain a broader understanding of the impacts of diagnosis, treatments, care, awareness and interactions with medical practitioners on endometriosis patients, as well as the impacts of endometriosis on work lives, education, relationships and finances.
