Australasian Menopause Society

The Australasian Menopause Society (AMS) is a not-for-profit member-based society that aims to improve the quality of life of women during and after the menopause.

The AMS brings together doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, researchers and community workers who want to participate in communication and scientific discussions for the advancement of knowledge about the menopause and women’s midlife health.

Vision and mission

The vision of AMS is to be the leader in menopause awareness and education, empowering clinicians and the community in Australia and New Zealand. The mission of AMS is to achieve the best possible health and wellbeing for women during and after menopause.

The AMS seeks to bring accurate, evidence-based information to health care workers and the wider community about premature menopause, peri-menopause, MHT/HRT and alternatives, osteoporosis and how to locate a doctor interested in women's health.

How the Australasian Menopause Society can help

The AMS helps women and their health professionals better understand the transition through this stage of life. They do this by:

  • disseminating evidence-based information on menopause and women’s midlife health to health professionals and the public
  • educating doctors and other healthcare professionals in clinical care and understanding of midlife women’s health in our community
  • encouraging the application of evidence-based information and knowledge in midlife women’s health and healthy ageing, as clinical best practice
  • translating research into evidence-based clinical practice excellence and advocacy
