About us

NSW Health has developed a statewide network of menopause hubs and referral services to support people with severe and/or complex menopause needs. Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District (NBMLHD) Menopause Referral Service is supported by a Specialist Menopause Service (Hub) located in South Western Sydney Local Health District (SWSLHD).

We help people manage issues related to menopause including:

• severe and/or complex symptoms of menopause
• increased risk of osteoporosis (weak bones) and fractures
• increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke
• supporting mental health and wellbeing
• management of weight and lifestyle
• managing urinary problems.

Referral information

Clients can be referred by their GP (general practitioner), specialist or other health professional. Referring clinicians should complete a referral form available on our referral catalogue page.
