About the AMS
Members of the Australasian Menopause Society Limited (AMS) are doctors and other health care professionals who each have a special interest in women's health in midlife and menopause, and the promotion of healthy ageing.
Whether information is needed about peri-menopause, MHT/HRT and alternatives, osteoporosis or how to locate 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 many individual medical questions. While it's not possible ethically for AMS to answer these questions, the Society provides Health Information which may be freely accessed to help women and their health professionals 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. A secure area on this website for Members contains educational resources including abstracts, case studies and commentaries on currently published papers, position statements and Cochrane reviews. There are useful links to other related organisations.
The Society's journal eChanges is available in the members' area on this website. Released monthly eChanges is also circulated electronically with news of new AMS content, as well as publoished studies, news, events and updates.

Why us
Mission and Vision
The aim of the Australasian Menopause Society is advancement of knowledge about the menopause.
The importance of the menopause can best be comprehended when it is realised that there are over 2 million post-menopausal women in Australia, and that every year about 80,000 new women join this group.
These women constitute 40% of all health care visits in Australia.
The need to understand the various problems of the menopause, and their management is a major issue to doctors, politicians, health care workers, and the community; particularly when it is realised that women are not only living longer, but that their numbers are increasing at a disproportionate rate.
It is hoped the Australasian Menopause Society will help bring together these people, be they doctors, nurses, paramedical or community workers who feel they would like to participate in communication and scientific discussions for the advancement of knowledge about the menopause.
All those with an interest in the menopause are encouraged to join the Society; and to participate and assist in the achievement of its aims.
The Mission of the Australasian Menopause Society
To improve the quality of life of women during and after the menopause.
Objectives of the Australasian Menopause Society
* To promote discussion, study and understanding of midlife women's health in our community
* To encourage and support research into all aspects of midlife women's health
