Women who experience severe or complex menopause symptoms will benefit from enhanced support, with the opening of Central Coast Local Health District's (CCLHD) new Menopause Service.
The CCLHD Menopause Service is part of NSW Health's extensive menopause network, which includes four menopause hubs and multiple referral sites throughout the State.
As a part of this network, the Central Coast-based service is designed to assist women whose menopause symptoms have not responded to previous treatments, or who face additional complications from other medical conditions.
CCLHD's Menopause Service is linked to Northern Sydney Local Health District's Menopause Hub based at Royal North Shore Hospital, which means women can access a comprehensive approach to managing severe menopausal symptoms through a multi-disciplinary team of medical specialists, nursing and allied health professionals, physiotherapy, dietetics, social work and clinical psychologists.
