Parliament calls for comprehensive action on women's health and menopause
The Standing Committee on Health and Care Services has advanced several proposals based on a private member's bill from MPs across multiple parties on women's health and menopause. The proposers argue that menopausal symptoms are both a public health issue and a workplace issue that affects labour force participation, productivity, and the economy. The committee is calling on the government to take action on treatment, professional expertise, education, workplace accommodation, and research.
