Providers listed here are vetted for menopause relevance and alignment with our standards. “Vetted” means we check fit and clarity. It does not mean we verify clinical outcomes or replace medical advice.
Use any of these search options
This view brings together vetted, menopause-informed providers who prescribe and manage medical treatment for menopause, so you can find the right clinician rather than work out the medicine on your own. The clinical detail on how these treatments work, the forms they come in, and the current safety evidence lives in our guides, linked below. This page is about who can help and how to find them.
What medical menopause treatment covers
Medical treatment for menopause falls into two broad groups. Menopausal hormone therapy, still widely called HRT, replaces the oestrogen, and where needed the progestogen, that the body stops producing, which reduces symptoms at their source. Non-hormonal prescription options exist for women who cannot use or would rather not use hormones, and some treatments target a single symptom such as vaginal dryness or hot flushes.
For how each option works, the different forms available in Australia, PBS subsidies, and the current evidence on benefits and risks, read our menopause treatment guide and our MHT in Australia guide. Bringing that detail to a prescriber who knows menopause well is the part this directory is built to help with.
Who prescribes and manages menopause treatment
For most women, a menopause-informed GP is the right place to start and can prescribe and review hormone therapy. A women’s health clinic offers the same with a team built around women’s health. Where care is more complex, a gynaecologist handles difficult symptoms, complicated hormone decisions, and related gynaecological conditions, and an endocrinologist is the right specialist when menopause overlaps with another hormonal or metabolic condition such as thyroid disease, bone loss, or early menopause.
You do not need to know which of these you need before you start. A GP or women’s health clinic can begin treatment and refer you on if specialist care turns out to be the right step. Browse menopause doctors to begin.
What makes a good hormone therapy prescriber
Prescribing quality varies, so it helps to know what a strong menopause prescriber looks like. They list menopause or women’s health as a genuine clinical focus rather than treating it in passing. They take a full symptom and health history, discuss your individual risk and benefit honestly, explain the options and the forms they come in, and offer ongoing review rather than a single prescribing visit.
Useful credential signals include the Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) credential, which is the strongest menopause-specific marker, active involvement in the Australasian Menopause Society (AMS), which signals genuine interest, and the RANZCOG Certificate of Women’s Health, which reflects broad women’s health training. Every provider in this directory has been vetted for a real menopause focus, so you are not guessing at who actually works in this area.
Accessing treatment by telehealth
A menopause-informed clinician can assess your suitability for hormone therapy and prescribe it through a video consultation, under the same clinical standards as an in-person visit, with electronic prescriptions sent to your chosen pharmacy. Follow-up for dose adjustment and ongoing review suits telehealth well, which has widened access for women outside the major cities. See our telehealth and online care page for how this works and how to filter the directory for online appointments.
Common questions about finding menopause treatment
How do I find a doctor who will prescribe hormone therapy in Australia?
Look for a GP or clinic that lists menopause or women’s health as a clinical focus. AMS involvement and the MSCP credential are reliable signals of current knowledge. Every provider in this directory has been vetted for menopause relevance, and filtering by this category shows clinicians who offer medical hormone management. Telehealth has widened access well beyond the major cities.
Can I get hormone therapy through telehealth?
Yes. A menopause-informed clinician can assess you and prescribe hormone therapy by video consultation, with the prescription sent electronically to your pharmacy. Ongoing dose adjustment and review also suit telehealth. Our telehealth page explains how to filter the directory for providers offering online appointments.
Is menopausal hormone therapy subsidised in Australia?
Many MHT products are listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, which makes them more affordable with a valid prescription, though some newer formulations are not listed and cost more. Subsidy status changes over time, so your GP or pharmacist can confirm it for a specific product. Our MHT guide covers this in more detail.
Should I see a GP or a specialist for menopause treatment?
A menopause-informed GP or women’s health clinic is the right starting point for most women and can prescribe and manage hormone therapy. A gynaecologist or endocrinologist is worth seeing when symptoms are complex, when hormone decisions are complicated by your health history, or when menopause overlaps with another condition. Your GP can refer you on if specialist care is the right next step.
