90: Australia's Menopause Inquiry and the Push for Health Equity with Senator Marielle Smith

Dear Menopause

Senator Marielle Smith joins Sonya to discuss the Australian Senate Inquiry into Menopause and Perimenopause.
Hear how this Inquiry hopes to break the silence on a topic all too often overlooked.
Marielle takes us through the Inquiry's mission to recommend both legislative and societal changes and set the stage for a new era of understanding and support for this area of women's health.
We delve into the heart of the Menopause Inquiry and the mechanics behind the submission process which invites public participation through the sharing of lived experiences.
Understand how the submissions and evidence given are then crafted into actionable recommendations presented by the bipartisan Senate committee.
Whether you're impacted by the issues discussed or a staunch advocate for women's health, this Inquiry is a testament to the collective effort of the Australian Senate.
The Inquiry will culminate in a comprehensive report and recommendations due in September 2024.
This is your opportunity to have your voice heard and to be a part of creating much-needed change in government policies, workplace environments, and the National and State healthcare systems.
