About this event
World Menopause Day is observed internationally on 18 October each year to raise awareness of menopause and women’s health.
The day was founded in 2009 by the International Menopause Society, a global non-profit organisation established in 1978. The society sets a different theme each year, highlighting an aspect of health during the menopause transition, and publishes supporting resources for women and for health professionals.
Menopause is a natural stage of life, and women who need information or support can speak with their GP. Health services and community groups in Moree have run menopause forums in recent years.
