The $6Billion Woman and the $600 Million Girl: The Pelvic Pain Report was undertaken in 2011 by the Pelvic Pain Steering Committee comprising Ms Deborah Bush QSM, Dr Susan Evans and Professor Thierry Vancaillie. It arose from Australia’s National Pain Summit of 2010, where the needs of girls and women with pain had not specifically been addressed.
The Pelvic Pain Report investigated the human and fiscal burden of pelvic pain in Australia, interviewed widely, and formulated recommendations for improved services.
The report is available for free download at:
