Join us as we support women across the region age and thrive at Round One, 2025 Country to Coast, QLD Clinical Societies Choice and Change – Support healthy ageing for Women events!
The 2024 landmark Commonwealth Senate Enquiry into menopause and perimenopause highlighted several key areas to improve support and healthcare for ageing women.
It identified that despite menopause being a natural transition for over 51 per cent of the population, it has ‘remained an area in women’s health where women’s voices and pain have been poorly understood’.
Findings echo the priority health action areas identified in the Queensland Women’s and Girls’ Health Strategy 2023 highlighting sexual and reproductive health as key areas for reform.
Clinical Society experts and guests will explore clinical insights into maximising health during both perimenopause and menopausal transition, and explore opportunities to develop and embed local services to support women’s health ageing.
Learning Objectives:
- Explore data to examine the current state of women's health with age, particularly the impact of the menopausal transition.
- Develop an understanding of evidence-based advice on lifestyle and healthy ageing to incorporate into consultations relating to menopause.
- Describe the benefits and risks of menopausal therapy including hormonal and non-hormonal options.
- Examine the role of integrated multidisciplinary care, particularly the role of a women’s health physiotherapist, in driving better outcomes for women around menopause.
- Explore opportunities to develop and embed best-practice service models in local communities.
