Quotes attributable to Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District (ISLHD) Menopause Referral Service Coordinator, Georgia Watson:
“Having a dedicated menopause service helps break down barriers to accessing expert care in what can already be a challenging time in this person’s life.
“Our goal is to make sure every person who accesses this service is supported. Whether it’s through physiotherapy, virtual consultations, or connection with local services, we’re here to walk alongside them.”
