Australian women will have greater access to information about perimenopause and menopause to break down the stigma many have faced as they approach this major life transition.
Women typically enter menopause between 45 and 60 years of age and perimenopause, which precedes it, can start in their 30s and last up to 10 years.
The hormonal changes can affect women differently, with symptoms ranging from hot flushes and sleep problems to anxiety, brain fog and changes to mental health and wellbeing.
