About women’s health

Women’s health encompasses a broad range of concerns, from reproductive and hormonal health to mental well-being and chronic disease management. Many Australian women actively engage in preventive healthcare, but challenges like hormonal imbalances, reproductive health concerns, and chronic diseases require ongoing medical support. Women are more likely than men to experience conditions like anxiety, depression, and postnatal depression, and having accessible support through telehealth can make a significant difference. Routine health screenings, Pap smears, breast checks, and menopause management are crucial for long-term well-being. With telehealth services, Australian women can speak to a doctor online anytime, anywhere — whether they are in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, or remote areas.
