01
Your doctor, as often as your care needs.
Reviews scheduled around how your treatment is actually going, not a fixed interval, with no additional gap charged. If something is not working in week five, you say so in week five, not weeks later.
Emsee Care Program
If you have been told it is probably stress, and you do not think it is, you are likely right.
Emsee Menopause Centre sees menopause and nothing else. Your first appointment is a bulk billed Menopause Assessment. It is long enough to take the whole history, rather than the four minutes of it that fit into a standard consultation.
How care starts
Step 1 · Booking
No referral, and no waiting list measured in months. Around four days from booking to your appointment, wherever in Australia you live.
Step 2 · The Menopause Assessment
If you do not yet know whether this is menopause, that is the question the appointment answers. It is bulk billed with Medicare, so there is no gap to pay.
Step 3 · The recommendation
Hormone therapy where it suits you, other approaches where it does not. Either way, it comes as a Care Package: medication delivered, a naturopath and nutritionist working from your plan, and a Clinical Care Team you can message anytime.
What the program covers
Most women arrive here having managed this across four or five providers who never speak to each other. The point of the program is that the repeating stops.
01
Reviews scheduled around how your treatment is actually going, not a fixed interval, with no additional gap charged. If something is not working in week five, you say so in week five, not weeks later.
02
A person on the phone or in the chat in the Emsee App who already has your plan in front of them, so a question does not have to wait for your next appointment.
03
Coordinated and delivered to your door, so there is no pharmacy run and no month where a script has quietly run out. The medications themselves are billed separately, and most are available under the PBS.
04
The approaches that do not start with hormones, and eating for this stage of life, both working from the same record as your doctor rather than from scratch.
Ongoing care starts at $99 a month, once a doctor has recommended treatment and you decide to go ahead.

Continuity is the point here, and we would rather be honest about that now than have you find out in month two.
Questions
Nothing. The Menopause Assessment is bulk billed with Medicare, so there is no gap to pay. The $99 a month begins only if a doctor recommends treatment and you decide to go ahead.
That is a common place to start, and it is a position your doctor will take seriously rather than talk you out of. Your naturopath and nutritionist work from the same plan and the same record as your doctor, so the approaches that do not begin with hormones are part of the program rather than a separate arrangement you have to organise yourself. Where hormone therapy is clinically appropriate, your doctor will set out what it involves, including the risks alongside the benefits, and the decision is yours.
Symptoms in your forties are exactly the presentation most often put down to stress, and being told you are too early is one of the reasons women stop looking. The assessment is bulk billed, so there is no gap to pay for having the question taken seriously.
