Hot flushes, body aches, insomnia and headaches; these are just some of the many symptoms of menopause experienced by many thousands of women in Australia.

There is hope of some relief for sufferers in even remote areas of the state, with a 'hub and spoke' approach backed by a $40 million state government commitment to be rolled out over the next four years.

“Many women suffer these symptoms in silence and do not seek the support and treatment they need," said Minister for Women and Regional Health, Bronnie Taylor.

 "We want to break down the social stigma around talking about menopause and encourage women to share their experiences."

To do this, the NSW Government aims to establish four Australian-first health hubs with another twelve "spoke" services across the state. Three of these extra services will be attached to each hub.

The four initial menopause hubs include two enhanced services already open in Sydney at The Royal Hospital for Women and Royal North Shore Hospital, a new hub established at Campbelltown and a rural network hub to be led by Hunter New England in 2023.

The networked hubs will be staffed by doctors, allied health professionals and nurses, with the aim to support women across all parts of New South Wales.

According to a spokesperson for Ms Taylor's office, the uptake of services will gauge if it is feasible to have hubs in different locations.

However, location is hoped to not be an issue with all hubs having "virtual capacity" to consult with patients from any area.

Virtual assistance will be available for women anywhere in NSW.

“To start the conversation we have launched an awareness campaign and a Menopause Toolkit, which provide clear information about perimenopause and menopause, as well as information about accessing services in NSW,” Ms Taylor said.

It is hoped the menopause health services will support around 5500 women each year.

Having a network of menopause services across the state is also aimed at helping women manage the longer term health risks associated with menopause, such as osteoporosis, heart disease and high blood pressure.

“This network of 16 menopause health services will support about 5,500 women each year as they face the daily challenges of living and working while enduring menopausal symptoms and associated health risks,” Minister for Health Brad Hazzard said.

All 16 networked menopause services are expected to be operational by late 2023.

Women can access the specialised menopause services through their general practitioner.
