They just dismiss you
Too many Australian women are echoing these same words.
Stacks Goudkamp’s General Counsel, Sally Gleeson , was recently featured in this powerful investigation exposing systemic gender bias in Australia’s healthcare system. The article  shares harrowing accounts from some of the 1800 women — many of whom were misdiagnosed, dismissed, or told their pain was psychological, only to later discover life-threatening conditions.
Sally has represented numerous women whose delayed cancer diagnoses caused devastating consequences, from advanced-stage illness to permanent disability — all of which could have been avoided with timely and appropriate care.
The investigation highlights what legal, medical, and research professionals like Sally Gleeson have long warned: gender bias in our healthcare system is not just unfair — it’s dangerous.
At  Stacks Goudkamp , we are committed to supporting women who have been failed by the healthcare system. Our experienced medical negligence team understands the complex legal and emotional challenges involved in pursuing justice for delayed or misdiagnosed conditions. If you or a loved one has suffered as a result of inadequate medical care, we are here to help you understand your rights and seek the compensation you deserve.
