About the Event

Menopause affects more than half the population directly — and every household, workplace, and relationship indirectly.

In regional communities like Orange, access to menopause-informed care and open conversation is limited. That’s why Metluma, alongside local voices and community partners, is bringing this important conversation home.

This event will combine medical expertise, male allyship, and community conversation — followed by an exclusive screening of The M Factor documentary, the first film to call out the overlooked menopause health crisis.
