Join me for an enlightening conversation with Senator Marielle Smith as we explore the transformative Senate Inquiry into Perimenopause and Menopause in Australia. 

Over the past year, this Inquiry gathered insights from over 300 submissions, culminating in 25 key recommendations supported across political lines by the Liberal Party, Labor, and the Greens. 

Senator Smith provides a behind-the-scenes look at how these recommendations aim to improve women's healthcare and workplace conditions during this critical life stage. Discover the collaborative efforts that brought diverse voices to the forefront, highlighting the essential need for enhanced support and resources for women.

We address the stark gaps in medical education and societal support, probing why many women rely on unregulated online sources for vital menopause information. 

The discussion extends to the broader societal issue of how women's health concerns tend to be sidelined after childbirth and the push for a national awareness campaign to normalise menopause discussions. 

Celebrating the passionate advocacy of women who have tirelessly worked to keep menopause in the public eye, we underscore their crucial role in fostering ongoing dialogue and driving change. 

Thank you for listening to my show!
