A note about our Australian guidelines
The content in our "Menopause information & resources" section is based on Australian clinical practice guidelines. You might notice different advice on other websites for a variety of reasons, including that they follow guidelines from other countries.
This doesn’t mean our guidance is wrong - our goal is to provide information that’s relevant, reliable and tailored to Australia.
If you’re unsure, it is always best to check with your healthcare professional about what’s right for you personally.
