Fund care that reaches the women most likely to miss out.
Australia is funding clinician training and menopause checks in general practice. We fill the gap in the community: free education for women, funded places, and midlife sexual, pelvic and genitourinary health. We are building partnerships with philanthropic funders, government, health services, employers and research partners in Australia and internationally.
Funders
Fund a programme line: a workshop series, a cohort of funded places, or regional scholarships. Every grant is tied to measured outcomes and reported publicly.
Employers
Midlife women are leaving work because of symptoms. 17% of Australian women aged 45 to 64 took an extended break in the past five years. Sponsor education that keeps women well and working. Jean Hailes National Women's Health Survey, 2023
Health and research partners
Co-design culturally safe programmes, refer women, or partner on evaluation. We welcome an international research or not-for-profit partner for a measured pilot.
