Menopause at Work: Are Women Really Feeling Supported?

I'm inviting women across Australia and New Zealand to share their experiences of perimenopause and menopause in the workplace.

Through Becoming Her, I'm developing an article exploring how women are supported at work, the challenges they may face and what employers are doing well. Your responses will help inform this article and may contribute to future media coverage and workplace awareness discussions.

Menopause at Work: Are Women Really Feeling Supported?

About this project

Becoming Her is inviting women across Australia and New Zealand to share their experiences of perimenopause and menopause in the workplace.

The purpose of this project is to better understand women's experiences, identify examples of positive workplace support and highlight opportunities for greater menopause awareness, understanding and inclusion.

The information gathered may be used to develop articles, workplace insights, educational content and media stories through Becoming Her.
