Our Mission
At Territory Women’s Clinic, our mission is to empower women to access high quality physiotherapy and pelvic health care. Our team is one of therapists who provide personalized, compassionate and evidence-based therapy, with an individuals unique selves and goals being at the centre of all we do.
We are dedicated to supporting women at every stage of life, from pregnancy and postnatal recovery to managing chronic pain and nurturing the transition through menopause.
Our holistic approach focuses on building confidence and long-term wellness, while fostering a supportive environment where every woman feels heard, understood, and cared for.
“I didn’t want to just provide a pelvic health service, I wanted to create a space of safety, reassurance and encouragement.
Women’s health concerns have been underrepresented and minimally spoken about. It often takes a lot of courage for women to seek help, so I thought if I could help alleviate some of those barriers by creating a space that women want to come to, then my vision is well on the way to coming true.
And that vision is pretty simple- that all women in the Northern Territory have access to high-quality pelvic health care.”
— Bronte Ellis, Director & Founder Territory Women’s Clinic
Our team
Bronte is the founder and director of Territory Women’s Clinic. She developed a keen interest in Women’s Health when completing her undergraduate degree and when the opportunity arose to develop a women’s health service in the remote town of Nhulunbuy, she decided to further her studies and complete her Masters degree, graduating with distinction.
Bronte is a skilled clinician with a gentle, calm and understanding approach to all of her patients. Her ability to listen, empathise and empower women to believe in their bodies and themselves makes her patients feel supported, cared for and more likely to succeed. She prides herself on ensuring she stays up to date with the latest evidence, whilst also tailoring treatment and management plans to suit an individuals own circumstances and current season of life.
Bronte has a keen interest in bowel management, return to exercise postpartum, pregnancy related concerns and kids pelvic health concerns.
Territory Women’s Clinic started after Bronte and her young family relocated to Darwin from Nhulunbuy, East Arnhem Land. She noticed the need for women to have access to pelvic health physiotherapy in the Palmerston and surrounding regions. She wanted to do more than just provide a service though, and decided to create a space in which women feel safe, seen and empowered.
With more than 12 years in private practice and additional training in sports physio, Pilates and pain management she is an experienced general physiotherapist, which along with additional training in pelvic health makes her a well-rounded, holistic physiotherapist.
