Women's Health Victoria (WHV) welcomes the release of the Senate Community Affairs References Committee’s report on Issues Related to Menopause and Perimenopause. This significant inquiry marks an important step in addressing the often-overlooked challenges faced by women during perimenopause and menopause.
The Victorian Women’s Health Services Network (WHSN) welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the Senate Community Affairs References Committee Inquiry into the issues related to menopause and perimenopause.
Early menopause can occur either spontaneously (often without a known cause) or as a result of medical treatment, particularly for cancers. Held on 19 October, this webinar was an opportunity to hear from clinicians with expertise in early menopause to talk about the social impact and also hear first-hand from a woman about the lived experience aspects of early menopause.
The Healthtalk Australia Early Menopause: Women’s Experiences online resource is based on the video and audio-recorded stories of 30 women from a range of backgrounds with different experiences of early menopause or POI (spontaneous or caused by medical treatment).
The Healthtalk Australia Early Menopause: Health Practitioners’ Perspectives online resource is based on the video and audio-recorded experiences of 16 health practitioners from a range of specialties in relation to caring for women with early menopause or POI (spontaneous or caused by medical treatment).
