Dr Cate Broomfield and How the NECST Registry is Changing Endometriosis Care in Australia

What if your experience with endometriosis could help shape the future of diagnosis and treatment — not just for you, but for millions of Australians living with the disease?

In this episode of Living with Endo: The A to Z of Endometriosis, host Ellie Angel-Mobbs sits down with Dr. Cate Broomfield, Senior Research Associate and Clinical Psychologist at the GRACE Unit, Royal Hospital for Women, to unpack the National Endometriosis Clinical and Scientific Trials (NECST) Registry — what it is, why it matters, and how you can be part of it.

Together they explore:

• What the NECST Registry collects and how your data is kept anonymous
• How centralised research is reducing survey fatigue for endo warriors
• The real-world wins already emerging from the registry
• Why long-term follow-up data — even success stories — is critical to understanding endometriosis
• What's standing in the way of people contributing, and why it's worth pushing through
• How to sign up and make a difference today

Whether you've been living with endo for years or have just received a diagnosis, this episode is a powerful reminder that your story matters — and that sharing it could change the future of endometriosis care in Australia.
