A special thank you to Darren Chester MP () for standing up and making representations on my behalf to the Hon Mark Butler, Minister of Health and Aging.

Another special thank you to all the individuals + brands who have larger audiences who supported this initiative and shared awareness.

Countries such as Spain, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea have already implemented variations of Menstrual Leave policies to support those affected. Australian women also deserve this understanding and person-centred care. Let’s make this change happen.

Let’s talk about birth control… 🤍

It can be a complex and sometimes difficult conversation to have, but it’s an important one. Thankfully, in Australia we have access to a wide range of contraceptive options, each with different benefits, costs, levels of effectiveness, and accessibility.

If you’re considering starting contraception, changing methods, or simply wanting to learn more, these slides provide a brief overview of some of the options available through the Australian healthcare system. Everyone’s body, lifestyle, and priorities are different, so what works well for one person may not work the same for another.

If this topic interests you, speak with a trusted healthcare professional, ask questions, and take the time to do your own research so you can make an informed decision that feels right for you ❤️‍🩹

And remember when it comes to contraception, every story is different. For some people, finding the right option can be life-changing, improving their quality of life, easing menstrual symptoms, or reducing anxiety around pregnancy. For others, the journey can be frustrating and involve a lot of trial and error before finding the right fit and some people ultimately feel best without hormonal contraception at all.

Save this for later to look back on for when you potentially may need it xx
