Small everyday habits can make a real difference to bladder and pelvic health during perimenopause and menopause.

Every woman’s experience is different, so personalised support is always best.

Speak to your GP, a Nurse Continence Specialist or a pelvic health physiotherapist if symptoms are affecting your everyday life.

Bladder leakage, urgency, dryness and discomfort can become more common during perimenopause and menopause.

But common does not mean something should be ignored.

These changes can affect confidence, exercise, sleep, intimacy and the willingness to leave the house without planning every bathroom stop.

Support is available, and the right advice can make a meaningful difference. Speak with your GP, a Nurse Continence Specialist or a pelvic health physiotherapist if symptoms are affecting your everyday life.

Independence Australia also offers a wide range of continence products, delivered directly to your door in discreet packaging.

Finding the right support can change how home feels.

When Raymond moved into Independence Australia’s Murray Supported Independent Living home, it took time to adjust to a new environment and new people.

Since then, he’s built strong relationships with the people around him, reconnected with the activities he enjoys and become more confident trying new things.

From fishing and golf to gardening, shopping and creative projects at home, Raymond’s days are shaped by choice, connection and the support he needs to live life his way.

As Raymond says:
“I feel more confident, more involved, and more positive about the future.”

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.”
