Glen Iris General Practice welcomes the Victorian Government and Department of Health's inception of The Inquiry into Women's Pain.


The Inquiry into Women's Pain is asking Victorian girls and women to share their experiences of pain and pain management.


Chronic pain affects a higher proportion of girls and women than men around the world; however, women are less likely to receive treatment. Research has also shown that women generally experience more recurrent pain, more severe pain, and longer-lasting pain than men.

Medical gender bias routinely leads to a denial of pain and therefore, lack of pain relief and associated treatment for women. This occurs for various health conditions, including cardiovascular, neurological, reproductive, and autoimmune conditions.


You can participate by making a written submission or completing a survey. Survey and submissions close 31 July 2024 via the link Inquiry into Women's Pain submissions (health.vic.gov.au)


If you're seeking a GP who will listen to your concerns and provide personalized care, you've found your home with us. Book an appointment online or call us on 03 9828 7505 to start your journey towards optimal health and well-being.
