Australia is expanding support for women going through menopause and perimenopause into clinics across the country from July 1. The change aims to make access to these services easier.
According to the ABC, physiotherapy, dietetics and psychology services will be offered routinely as part of the national expansion. The move is being framed as part of a more holistic approach to women's health.
Menopause symptoms can affect the quality of life and working lives of many women. Health experts say widening access marks an important step in an area that has long been overlooked, and could help reduce the need for more intensive treatment later on.
