Changing the future of endometriosis through science.
The Grevillea Foundation is an Australian charity dedicated to supporting scientific research into endometriosis. Our aim is to fast-track the understanding and treatment of endometriosis, and improve millions of lives around the world.
Endometriosis affects 1 in 7. There is still no known cure.
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition with recurrent, long-term and often debilitating symptoms. Symptoms such as infertility, fatigue and pain vary greatly between people, making the condition challenging to diagnose.
1 in 7
Girls, women and those presumed female at birth in Australia are affected by endometriosis.
6-8 years
is the average time it takes to receive a diagnosis in Australia.
Our Mission
Backing bold science. Accelerating solutions.
Our mission is to change the future for those affected by endometriosis by backing bold scientific research, raising awareness and accelerating solutions.
Rooted in lived experience, we believe that no one should have to live with the uncertainty, pain or grief that has surrounded endometriosis for generations.
Our Vision
A world where endometriosis is understood, diagnosed early and effectively treated.
We exist to create a future where those with endometriosis no longer suffer in silence, where families are no longer left without answers, and where hope is backed by science.
Our long-term goal is to create enduring stability and support for those working in endometriosis research, embed lived experience into the design of research, encourage coordinated and collaborative programs of work, and help science translate into clinical care more quickly.
Our Principle Committment
Backing a world-first approach to endometriosis research.
The Grevillea Foundation is the principal funder of the Ainsworth Endometriosis Research Institute (AERI), the first institute of its kind globally.
AERI brings together science, clinical care, global expertise and lived experience through a coordinated, collaborative and multi-institutional program of work.
It represents a change in how endometriosis research is approached – and a future where women’s health is valued, funded and prioritised.
Why Research Matters
Now is the time to invest in endometriosis research.
For too long, those with endo have gone without sufficient options for care. This cannot continue.
Investment into scientific research will allow us to better understand the disease, improve diagnosis processes, and create better and more tailored treatments.
Our ultimate aim is to significantly improve the quality of life of those with endo.
"When AERI was announced I cried on and off for weeks. Knowing someone cared enough to want to know more, and saw my pain as a problem worth solving, was so empowering. I believe AERI’s work will change the world, for myself, and my daughters.”
