Members of the Autralasian Menopause Society are mainly doctors and other health care professionals taking a special interest in women's health in midlife and menopause, and the promotion of healthy aging. As well as attending the AMS annual scientific congress in Australia & New Zealand, some of our members are involved with the Asia-Pacific and International Menopause Societies, recognizing that women living in Australia and New Zealand may have widely differing experiences of menopause.

Whether you are needing information about peri-menopause, HRT and alternatives, osteoporosis or trying to find a doctor interested in women's health, the AMS seeks to bring accurate, evidence-based information to health care workers and the wider community.

The transition through menopause may raise various questions from ‘Contraception when approaching menopause' (info sheet) to ‘Where can I find an interested doctor?' (Find an AMS Doctor).

While it's not possible ethically for AMS to answer individual medical questions, we have a series of information pamphlets which can be downloaded and printed by women or their doctor to better understand the transition through this stage of life.

Members of the Society have access to a range of services. The AMS holds an annual scientific congress in Australia or in New Zealand and members are able to attend at special reduced registration rates. Our secure area for Members contains educational resources including media releases, abstracts and commentaries on currently published papers, position statements, Cochrane reviews. There are useful links to other related organisations.

The society's quarterly journal ‘Changes' is emailed or sent in hard copy to all AMS members and is also available in the members' area on this website. A monthly AMS eNews is also circulated electronically with news of events and updates.

We welcome new members. Details of membership can be obtained from our AMS Secretariat,  Lee Tregloan (Contact us)
