Did you know that until last year, the word perimenopause had never been used in parliament?

This is not an issue that should be suffered in silence! More needs to be done to understand its health impacts, its economic impacts on women and people who menstruate, and the impacts on our economy. That’s why the Greens have established a Senate inquiry into peri and menopause. And why I'm inviting you to a webinar on Monday 11 March to help you make your own submission to the Greens inquiry and learn more about what we're doing in Parliament to bring more attention to this important issue. 

The gendered cost of treating the symptoms of peri and menopause is yet another financial burden that only people who menstruate face, on top of the costs of a lifetime of period products. We want to hear from individuals, health professionals, employers and experts about what federal funding and policies need to be developed to support women in this phase of life.

RSVP for a webinar with me and Larissa Waters, a Greens Senator for Queensland. You can learn more about the Greens campaign and how to make a submission guide here.
