CHANGING PHYSIOLOGY IN MIDLIFE
As women transition through menopause — whether they choose to use hormone therapy or not — practitioners are observing significant changes in skin integrity, tissue quality, body composition, metabolism, mood and overall wellbeing. At the same time, many women are accessing advanced aesthetic treatments, regenerative therapies, metabolic medicine and emerging technologies, creating new clinical considerations that require a more integrated, medically informed and collaborative approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Thriving Through Menopause Symposium?
The Thriving Through Menopause Symposium is Australia’s leading
educational event for skin therapists, dermal clinicians, cosmetic nurses,
doctors, and other health professionals who want to better support women
through perimenopause and menopause. The program combines evidence-
based education, clinical insights, practical strategies, and business
opportunities relevant to today’s evolving patient demographic.
I'm not a menopause expert. Is this event for me?
Absolutely. The symposium is designed for practitioners at all levels of
knowledge. Whether you are just beginning to explore menopause or already
working extensively with midlife women, you will leave with practical insights
that can be implemented immediately.
I'm a skin therapist. Will the content be relevant to me?
Yes. The symposium has been specifically designed to help skin professionals
understand the impact of hormonal change on skin health, ageing,
inflammation, wound healing, pigmentation, hair, and overall wellbeing. You
will gain practical knowledge to help you better support your clients and grow
your clinic.
I don't specifically market to menopausal women. Will I still benefit?
Almost certainly. Women aged 40–65 represent a significant proportion of
patients and clients attending aesthetic, skin, and wellness clinics.
Understanding the physiological changes occurring during this stage of life
can improve outcomes, client satisfaction, retention, and referrals.
How is this different from other menopause events?
It is an industry first. A day dedicated entirely to menopause education. Most menopause events focus on awareness.
Thriving Through Menopause 2026 focuses on implementation.
The program is designed to provide practical, clinically relevant information that practitioners can apply in consultations,
treatment planning, patient communication, and business development.
Will there be opportunities to network?
Yes. Delegates will have multiple opportunities throughout the day to connect
with colleagues, speakers, exhibitors, and industry leaders who share an
interest in womens health and menopause care.
Are dietary requirements catered for?
Absolutely. Dietary requirements can be selected during the ticket purchase
process. If you have specific or complex requirements, please ensure these
are submitted at the time of booking.
Can I transfer my ticket to someone else?
Yes. Tickets are transferable. If you need to update attendee details, please
contact the event team prior to the event so we can ensure accurate
registration and seating.
Are tickets refundable?
Tickets are non-refundable. However, they are transferable, and we are happy
to assist with name changes if required.
Will presentation recordings be available after the event?
Information regarding access to presentation recordings will be provided
closer to the event date. Access arrangements may vary depending on ticket
type and speaker permissions.
Will I receive a certificate of attendance?
Yes. Delegates will receive a certificate of attendance following the
symposium.
Who should attend?
This event is ideal for skin therapists, dermal clinicians, cosmetic nurses,
aesthetic doctors, GPs, allied health practitioners, clinic owners, and any
professional interested in improving outcomes for women during
perimenopause and menopause.
