“…Gilbert and colleagues 22 reported the results of an online survey of Medical Directors of Assisted Reproductive Treatment (ART) clinics in Australia. Only 15% of 59 medical directors responded, with only two of those reporting the routine collection of data regarding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander status.…”

Background Pelvic organ prolapse (POP), urinary incontinence, and infertility are all prevalent conditions associated with considerable reduction in quality of life. As a group, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women may be at higher risk of these conditions, but studies are scarce. Objective To review the literature pertaining to the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of these conditions in Indigenous Australian women. Search strategy Medline, Embase, and Scopus were searched for articles published between 1980 and 2021 pertaining to these conditions in Indigenous Australian women. Selection criteria Studies that did not directly address the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of these conditions were excluded. Main results It was possible to identify only 11 papers dealing with these conditions in Indigenous Australian women. Only one dealt with POP and was a retrospective audit of a health outreach program in the Northern Territory concluding that there was significant underreporting of the condition. Five papers dealt with urinary incontinence and, again, described significant underreporting and poor referral pathways. Five papers reported small studies about infertility, one reporting poor engagement from clinical directors. Conclusion It was concluded that despite the importance of these conditions, there is almost no body of research and this is an urgent national problem.

“…All participants identified as cis-women, and their experiences may not reflect those of men and trans individuals in accessing ART. Unfortunately, the study also did not recruit participants from First Nations-a failure that characterizes many other empirical studies of patient experience, including in relation to ART (Boyle et al 2020;Clarke et al 2021;Gilbert et al 2021).…”

Qualitative studies on assisted reproductive technology commonly focus on the perspectives of participants living in major metropolises. In doing so, the experiences of those living outside major cities, and the unique way conditions of spatiality shape access to treatment, are elided. In this paper, we examine how location and regionality in Australia impact upon access and experience of reproductive services. We conducted twelve qualitative interviews with participants residing in regional areas across Australia. We asked participants to discuss their experience with assisted reproduction services and the impacts of location on access, service choice, and experience of care, and analysed the data using reflexive thematic analysis, as outlined by Braun and Clarke (2006, 2019). Participants in this study reported that their location impacted the services available to them, required considerable time in travel, and reduced continuity of care. We draw on these responses to examine the ethical implications of uneven distribution of reproductive services in commercial healthcare settings which rely on market-based mechanisms.
