Welcome to Peri Menopause Power, where we dive deep into the transformative journey of perimenopause and midlife.

In this episode, we invited Senator Larissa Waters back to share in the response and recommendations following the Australian Senate Inquiry into Menopause.

Reflecting on what was presented to the Senate, it highlights how vitally important this awareness is and how all of our collective power can be the change we want to see for us and for women following us. 

For those who missed the first chat we had with Larissa, you can find that at Episode 126.

Key Discussion Points

• There was rare cross-party consensus on the recommendations for women's health issues, including perimenopause and menopause.

• There are still significant gaps in education on women’s health, particularly by medical professionals.

• The report highlighted a significant lack of domestic data on menopause, workplace participation and access to treatments, and how this impacts policy design, and

• Why workplace rights and flexibility were central to the recommendations and could combat stigma and improve workplace equity.
