This is a free program specifically for women experiencing menopause and offering health strategies for menopause and beyond. Sessions last two hours, and are held on Thursdays. Child care is available.

Each weekly session will look at a different women’s health topic, presented by guest speakers and staff from the Royal Women’s Hospital. After each session, participants are invited to take part in some gentle exercise led by a Physiotherapist.

During the program's fun, informative sessions we will discuss a range of women’s health topics including:
|
- Bone health and osteoporosis
- Menopause and sexuality
- Mood, memory and sleep
- Natural and complimentary therapies
- Continence and the pelvic floor

...and much more.
