Menopause
Clinic

Menopause is a natural stage in a woman’s life that usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, marking the end of menstruation and fertility. In Australia, the average age of menopause is around 51, but the experience can vary widely among women. Early treatment can make a huge difference to women's lives.

The hormonal changes that occur during this transition often bring symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. While menopause itself is not an illness, these symptoms can significantly affect quality of life, work performance, and social relationships.

Access to information, support networks, and healthcare services plays an important role in how women manage this stage of life.

The effects of menopause in Australia extend beyond physical health, influencing social and economic wellbeing as well. Many women continue to work during their menopausal years, and symptoms can affect productivity, confidence, and career progression. 

In recent years, awareness has been growing, with more workplaces, health services, and advocacy groups recognising the importance of menopause education and support. By promoting understanding and access to treatment options such as lifestyle changes, hormone therapy, and counselling, Australia is gradually working toward reducing the challenges
and improving the wellbeing of women going through menopause.
