Lipoedema is a chronic medical condition that primarily affects women, causing painful, disproportionate fat accumulation—typically in the legs, hips, buttocks, and sometimes the arms. It’s often misdiagnosed or dismissed, but it is a real condition with physical and emotional impact.
We are Brisbane’s first and only centre solely dedicated to the care of women living with lipoedema. Founded by a woman with lipoedema, our centre is built on understanding, lived experience, and a compassionate, non-judgmental approach. Here, women are heard, respected, and supported.
No referral is required. You can contact us directly to book a consultation. However, if you have one from your GP or specialist, it may help us tailor your care more effectively.
Some services may be partially covered depending on your individual health cover or care plan. We are happy to help you navigate your options and offer affordable care to make support more accessible.
We understand that living with lipoedema can affect mental health and self-esteem. We provide compassionate care, peer support groups, and referrals to mental health professionals when needed. Empowerment, education, and community are central to our approach.
Lipoedema is a chronic condition, but its symptoms can be managed effectively with the right support. While there is no known cure, conservative treatments can greatly improve pain, mobility, and quality of life. We focus on helping each woman reclaim control and confidence.
Yes. While we do not replace medical specialists, our experienced team can guide you through the process, help you understand your symptoms, and support you in getting a formal diagnosis from a qualified practitioner.
You’re not alone. Book a consultation with us to begin your care journey. We’ll take the time to understand your story, explain what’s happening in your body, and work with you to create a plan that fits your needs and goals.
