Menopause support matters.
And it's time it got the attention it deserves

More than a health issue

Perimenopause and menopause can impact physical health, emotional wellbeing, confidence and daily life. Many women also notice the effects at work.

The impact in numbers

 

75%
of women experience symptoms during perimenopause and menopause*.
50%
say symptoms affect work, relationships or daily functioning*.
70%
of women experience perimenopause or menopause while still employed*.

 

Getting reliable information and personalised care can go a long way to help women figure out what's happening, explore their options and feel supported through this stage of life.
