Menopause and women's health courses for every stage

From the first signs of perimenopause to life after menopause: understand the changes, get ready for your GP appointment and plan food, movement and work around them.

Menopause is your final period, usually recognised after 12 months without one. The years before it, called perimenopause, can bring changes to periods, sleep, mood, memory, body temperature and the bladder well before periods stop. Since 1 July 2025, Medicare has funded a menopause and perimenopause health assessment with a GP (MBS item 695): a longer consultation of at least 20 minutes covering your history, an examination, any tests needed and a care plan.

Our menopause courses are educational. They explain the options Australian health services describe, including menopausal hormone therapy (MHT, the name Australian doctors usually use for HRT), non-hormonal options and lifestyle changes, so you can have a clearer conversation with your GP or pharmacist. They do not recommend a treatment, and no food or supplement in them is presented as a remedy for symptoms.

Practical help runs through each course: symptom trackers that build a picture over several weeks, meal planners based on the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating, strength plans, and letters and scripts for asking about changes at work. Food needs shift in midlife too: Eat for Health suggests women aged 51 to 70 have 4 serves of milk, yoghurt, cheese and alternatives a day, compared with 2½ at 19 to 50.

What the menopause tools do

  • Symptom trackers and diaries: record flushes, mood, sleep, focus or bladder habits over several weeks, then download a summary for your appointment.
  • GP question lists and appointment scripts: written down in advance, so nothing is forgotten in the consultation.
  • Options comparison sheet: an education-only overview of the choices you may discuss with your GP.
  • Calcium and vitamin D checker and meal planners: count your dairy serves and plan four weeks of simple midlife meals.
  • 8-week strength plan and workout log: a progressive plan you can scale back on harder days.
  • Adjustments request letter and manager checklist: a structured way to ask for, or offer, support at work.

When to see your GP

Book a GP appointment if:

  • symptoms are affecting your daily life, work or relationships
  • you are under 45 and your periods have become irregular or stopped, or you have other menopause symptoms
  • you have any bleeding after menopause, meaning 12 months or more after your last period
  • your periods become very heavy, or you bleed between periods or after sex

If you have felt low most days for two weeks or more, talk to your GP or call Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636. If you are thinking about ending your life, call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or 000 straight away.

Menopause courses: your questions

What is the Medicare menopause health assessment?

Since 1 July 2025, GPs can claim a Medicare item (MBS item 695) for a menopause and perimenopause health assessment lasting at least 20 minutes. It covers your history, an examination, any tests needed and a care plan. Ask your practice how to book it and whether it is bulk billed.

Is MHT the same as HRT?

Yes. Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) is the term most Australian doctors use for what is often called hormone replacement therapy (HRT) overseas. The options course explains both names so you can follow any information you read.

Will a course tell me whether to take MHT?

No. The courses explain what MHT is, the questions to ask about benefits and risks, and the alternatives, so you can decide with your GP. They do not recommend any treatment.

Is there a special menopause diet?

There is no official menopause diet in Australia. The Australian Dietary Guidelines apply, with more dairy or alternative serves from age 51. The nutrition courses turn that into weekly meal plans.

Can the Menopause at Work course help me talk to my employer?

Yes. It includes a letter template, a symptom-at-work diary and a conversation script. It explains how to ask about reasonable changes and check your workplace policies, without giving legal advice.

What if my menopause started early?

Menopause before 40 is called premature ovarian insufficiency, and menopause before 45 is early menopause. Both need assessment and support from a GP or specialist. The courses give general information, but your care team should guide your care.
