🌸 October is World Menopause Month 🌸

Menopause is a natural stage of life, but it doesn’t have to be faced alone.

This month, TasWomen encourages open conversations, access to trusted care, and support for every person experiencing menopausal changes.

Let’s break the silence, empower each other, and share knowledge that matters.

October is International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

This October, we pause to acknowledge the deep and often silent grief experienced by families who have lost a pregnancy, a baby, or an infant.

1 in 4 pregnancies ends in loss. Behind each statistic is a family carrying the weight of heartache, love, and memories that will last a lifetime. Whether the loss happened recently or many years ago, the pain is real and enduring.

At our clinic, we stand in support of every parent, partner, and family who has experienced this unimaginable loss. You are not alone, and your grief is valid.

Let this month be a reminder to:
💜 Honour the little lives gone too soon
💬 Open up conversations around pregnancy and infant loss
🤝 Offer support without judgment or expectations

To anyone who has experienced this kind of loss: we see you, we remember your babies, and we’re here to support you.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Each October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month serves as a powerful reminder of the impact this disease continues to have on Australians. Breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers in our community, affecting thousands of lives every year.

More than 21,000 Australians (including around 200 men) will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year.
On average, 58 people are diagnosed every single day.
Sadly, over 3,300 lives are lost each year, including around 33 men.

While survival rates have improved significantly (rising from 76% in 1994 to 92% today), there is still work to do.

The goal is ambitious but vital: zero deaths from breast cancer. That means pushing further with research to support those who fall outside that survival rate.
Breast cancer research in Australia is driven by the generosity of our communities.

Donations help fund critical research in prevention, early detection, better treatments, and improved quality of life for those affected.

This month, let’s raise awareness, show support, and continue working towards a future free from breast cancer.

Dear Patients,

Regarding the recent controversy announced publicly in the USA about the link between antenatal paracetamol use and risk of Autism.

Please read the important update from our National Obstetric College RANZCOG: https://ranzcog.edu.au/news/paracetamol-use-in-pregnancy/ firmly refuting these claims.

Please feel confident to continue paracetamol as needed, within the usual recommended dosage.

Kind regards,
TasWomen

RANZCOG dismisses claims linking pregnancy paracetamol use in pregnancy to neurodivergence.
