The vision of Let’sTalk40+ is of a community that has conversations about perimenopause and menopause in order to help normalise and de-stigmatise the experience.

Our purpose

We exist to educate and empower women (and people with female bodies) to make decisions regarding their own healthcare during perimenopause and menopause.

Our values

  • We value storytelling and yarning as a way to share our lived experiences of perimenopause and menopause and to thereby help others to understand their own experiences.

  • We value evidence based medical advice.

  • We value the process of shared decision making between clinicians and patients.

  • We value and respect gender diversity in our community. Read our Gender Language Policy here.

Our pillars

  • We run a clinic specifically for women to talk about their experiences of perimenopause and menopause.

  • We collate reliable resources for women to learn more about perimenopause and menopause.

  • We collaborate with local health providers to provide tailored healthcare solutions.

  • We run events and workshops to encourage women to join in the conversation and share their perimenopause and menopause experiences.

Let’sTalk40+ clinic

The Let’sTalk40+ clinic is at Busby Medical Practice and Russell Street Medical Centre in Bathurst.

The Let’sTalk40+ clinic is a service run by our in-house GPs. On the first visit, women will meet with one of our GPs who have a special interest in perimenopause and menopause. Together, healthcare needs are identified and the woman is offered the tools to decide what types of treatments she may be interested in. Blood tests or other investigations may be ordered by the GP at this visit.

A follow up appointment can then be made with the woman’s usual GP to arrange any referrals or prescriptions that may be required.

If the woman would like to continue seeing the Let’sTalk40+ clinic GP, that can be arranged too.

To make an appointment, call Busby 02 6332 4266 RSMC 02 6331 2266 or book via HotDoc.
