This is an important piece of work addressing the impact that menopause has on female workforce participation 🌸
Misdiagnosed menopause or untreated symptoms can result with woman leaving the workforce, often at the peak of their career.
For example, menopausal symptoms, such as changes in mood, may be incorrectly treated as a primary mental health condition, rather than menopause per se. Menopause itself may not be getting best managed.
A lot can be done to best prepare and support woman during this time in their life.
As part of an expert working group, Dr
Vicky Phillips of EXPHYS highlights how exercise plays an important role.

MORE FROM EXPHYS
Recently, members of the EXPHYS team came together to support our annual team charity event for Australian Red Cross LifeBlood. Every day, we work alongside people on their recovery journeys. Donating blood is one small way we can extend that support further across Australia and into the community. We're incredibly proud of our team for getting involved and helping raise awareness for the thousands of Australians who rely on blood and plasma donations every day. A huge thank you to everyone who donated, shared our campaign, or encouraged others to get involved. Together, we can make a meaningful difference.
A simple check-in can make a difference. This Men's Health Week, take the opportunity to check in with the men around you. Ask how they're going and start a conversation. 2 in 5 men will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime. *Source: Australian Men's Health Forum, AMHF, (2025) and Know Your Man Facts (2025) Learn more about men's health and how you can be part of the conversation through the Australian Mens Health Forum and Know Your Man Facts campaign .
🩸 National Blood Donor Week Last week, our EXPHYS team came together to donate blood throughout the week as part of our annual team charity event in support of Australian Red Cross Lifeblood. We are donating with Lifeblood to honour people living with cancer, demonstrating our DNA Value of CARE , and helping people stay engaged in life, work & what matters most. Blood and plasma donations play a vital role in saving lives, providing essential support for Australians undergoing cancer treatment, recovering from trauma, and managing serious health conditions. A few facts that remind us why every donation matters: ❤️ 1 in 3 Australians will need blood or blood products in their lifetime. 🩸 A blood donation is needed every 18 seconds. 💛 It can take up to 13 plasma donations to create a single vial of some plasma medicines. * Australian Red Cross Lifeblood (2026) . We're proud to contribute in a small way to something that has such a big impact, and we hope it inspires others to get involved too. Whether you donate, encourage a friend, or simply help spread awareness, every action counts.
