YOU’RE INVITED!

We’re living in a moment where women over 40 are reshaping workplaces, markets, and society—and yet, their potential remains misunderstood and underutilised. This event is your chance to change that narrative, gain insights, and take meaningful action.

Please join us for a provocative and enriching conversation.

When: Tuesday 10 December. 3.00pm

Where: Zurich. 118 Mount St, North Sydney NSW 2060

The event will kick off at 3:00 PM with an engaging panel discussion featuring our esteemed speakers: Dr. Nicole Avard (Metluma), Melinda Upton (Deloitte), Marnie Darren (Wellcomm), Zuleika Culliver and moderator Colin Jowell. Following the discussion, at 3:45 PM, attendees will enjoy an exclusive VIP screening and Sydney’s first screening of The (M) Factor – Shredding the Silence on Menopause.

The evening will conclude on the Zurich rooftop terrace, where guests can mingle over canapés and drinks from 5:00 PM onwards, all while taking in the stunning views.

FIRST OF ITS KIND, MEN’S THINK TANK ON MENOPAUSE

Recently, Metluma partnered with Thriving Workplaces to do the unthinkable – we brought 20 men together to talk about menopause.

This groundbreaking session, moderated by Luke Cook from Cuppa, was an eye-opener, as many acknowledged their initial lack of awareness about the realities of perimenopause and menopause, and the critical need for systemic support.

Thanks to the transformative insights of Dr. Nicole Avard and Georgie Drury from Metluma, these leaders gained a deep understanding of the physical, emotional, and psychological challenges women face – and why workplaces must step up.

NEW RESEARCH KICKS OFF WITH UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY

We’re on a mission to uncover how digital tools can empower women in healthcare as they navigate peri-menopause and menopause, helping them feel supported and confident in managing their symptoms. This study brings together 200 incredible women working in healthcare – 100 from Australia and 100 from the UK – who will all help shape the future of digital support in the workplace.

By capturing real insights from those on the front lines, we’re setting out to create a digital solution that truly meets the needs of women in healthcare, giving them tools that make a difference in their day-to-day. We can’t wait to see how this research will fuel our mission to support women in the workforce during this transformative stage. Stay tuned as we work to create meaningful change!
