Co-founder and CEO Grace Molloy from Menopause Friendly Australia will front the wisdom brigade, joined by Mary Coustas, performer, writer, advocate (UnPause), and the comedic powerhouse behind the iconic Effie. Mary brings her trademark humour and honesty to exploring her own fraught journey through menopause, which led her to writing “Marypause”, a book she hopes will help open the menopause closet and detoxify this taboo with laughter. Dr Natasha Andreadis ( aka DR Tash ), Gynaecologist & Hormonal Health Specialist (UnPause) and host of "The Fanny Mechanic" Podcast, will be there to add science to the sass.

Our hosts, Commonwealth Bank will share their own story and highlight how CBA is building a truly menopause-friendly workplace.
