You’re not imagining it — and you’re not alone.

Perimenopause and menopause can affect more than periods, sleep and mood. Falling oestrogen can also change bladder, pelvic floor and vaginal health, leading to symptoms many women feel embarrassed to talk about.

You may notice:
• leaking when you cough, sneeze or exercise
• a sudden or frequent urge to urinate
• more urinary tract infections
• dryness, irritation or discomfort

These symptoms are common, but you don’t have to simply live with them.
In the latest edition of Inform, Nurse Continence Specialist Lisa Wragg explains why these changes happen and what can help.

Sometimes the most meaningful support is simply being there.

For SASI support worker Imelda, success isn’t always measured in major milestones. It can be found in the quieter moments — offering a steady presence, building trust and helping someone feel heard, respected and supported.

Freedom looks good on the water!

For SASI customers Bryan and Jamee, regular visits to Mornington Yacht Club through the Sailability program have brought excitement, connection and the simple joy of being out on the water.

From calling “All aboard!” before departure to spotting seals along the coastline, each outing offers a chance to try something new, connect with the wider community and enjoy a little more freedom.

Read Finding Freedom on the Water in the latest edition of Inform magazine to discover how Sailability is making sailing accessible to people of all abilities.

A day built around connection, community and belonging.

Around 70 people came together at Altona Beach for AQA’s annual Community BBQ — including community members, families, volunteers, mentors, staff and guests from the Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre and Caulfield Hospital.

Accessibility was considered from the beginning, with beach wheelchairs and support available so more people could enjoy the shoreline and be part of the day.

There was food, laughter, conversation and plenty of time to simply connect.

“At its heart, the day was about people. And above all else, it was about belonging.”
