New Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has stepped into some big shoes after pandemic premier Dan Andrews decided to retire from politics late last year.

But while Ms Allan has all the experience required to fill the position, having been the member for Bendigo East for 25 years now, she has done her job while also dealing with a debilitating case of endometriosis.

Now, the new Premier has her sights set on helping women deal with pain, and has a plan to better understand it.
