Evidence-Based Care Across the Lifespan
To mark Menopause Awareness Month 2026, Women’s Health in the South East (WHISE) and Sexual Health Victoria are partnering to deliver a 90-minute professional development webinar designed to strengthen the knowledge, confidence and clinical capability of health professionals providing menopause care.
