The new hub has been established as part of a key component of NSW Health’s broad menopause network, which mainly encompasses four healthcare hubs along with numerous referral sites across the region.

According to the NSW government, the hub provides an all-encompassing strategy for addressing intense menopausal symptoms by utilising a diverse team of medical experts and allied health practitioners.

This team includes women’s health nurses, dietitians, physiotherapists, as well as clinical psychologists.

NSW Women Minister Jodie Harrison said: “Menopause will affect most women at some stage of their life. For some, the symptoms might be limited. For others, it can be debilitating.

“The opening of this Menopause Hub in Wallsend – as part of a network of menopause services – means women in the region experiencing severe or complex symptoms of menopause can access the important health care services they need. 

“It’s also important during this Women’s Health Week we raise awareness to help break the menopause taboo so women can receive appropriate menopausal care and support.” 

The government said that eligible women can be referred to the new hub for advanced care by specialists, general practitioners, and nurse practitioners.

This site offers both in-person consultations and telehealth support for women in rural locations.

NSW Regional Health Minister Ryan Park added: “Up to one in four women endure severe and debilitating menopause symptoms, which is why services like this one are so important.

“The completion of the Newcastle menopause hub marks a significant milestone for women in the Hunter, New England, Lower Mid North Coast, and northern NSW regions who need advanced support.”
