Menopause & Perimenopause Health Assessments

Medicare Rebates Now Available

Women experiencing perimenopause, menopause, early menopause, or premature ovarian insufficiency can now access a Medicare rebate to help cover part of the cost of a dedicated health assessment.

Why Consider a Health Assessment?

Menopause and perimenopause affect more than just reproductive health. Many women experience symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes, sleep difficulties, weight changes, and problems with memory or concentration.

This stage of life can also be linked with longer-term health considerations, including an increased risk of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic changes.

A structured health assessment provides the opportunity to:

• Understand your symptoms and how they are affecting your daily life

• Discuss treatment and management options, both medical and lifestyle-based

• Review your overall health and identify risks that can be reduced with early action

• Put in place a personalised plan to support your long-term wellbeing

What’s Involved in the Appointment?

During your consultation, your general practitioner will:

• Take time to discuss your symptoms and any concerns

• Review your medical history and overall health

• Organise tests or specialist referrals if required

• Provide advice on management options, including non-medication strategies

• Develop a personalised care plan tailored to your needs

• Offer preventative health advice where appropriate
