Menopause must not be ‘catastrophised’, warn endocrinologists
Professor Susan Davis says offering leave for menopause risks labelling women as being impaired in their work performance.

The doctors were speaking at a federal Senate inquiry currently investigating the impact of menopause and perimenopause, with unions calling for the introduction of 12 days mandatory menstrual and menopause leave under the Fair Work Act.
