With the federal government committing $12.8 million towards a national menopause awareness campaign as part of its 2025–26 budget, it’s clear menopause is finally getting the attention it deserves. The funding is part of a wider push to improve education, reduce stigma, and empower women with better access to resources through initiatives like national clinical guidelines, Medicare rebates for menopause health assessments, and professional development programs.

While the government takes steps at the national level, one Australian educator is taking things into her own hands to make real-world impact right now and it could be worth chatting to your PT or coach about.

Women’s health advocate and long-time fitness industry leader Mish Wright has launched a practical new workshop designed specifically for coaches, fitness professionals and wellness practitioners who want to confidently support clients through perimenopause and beyond. Introducing the Menopause Training Matrix™ (MTM)—a 3-hour, action-based session that blends science, conversation, and coaching tools.

Because let’s face it: whether you’re experiencing brain fog, fatigue, or just not feeling quite like yourself, the last thing you need is a confused look from your PT or coach when you mention menopause.

After two sold-out pilot events in Sydney, Mish is taking the MTM on tour with upcoming dates in:

• Melbourne – Friday 2nd May
• Sydney – Wednesday 7th May
• Auckland – Friday 16th May
• Brisbane – Friday 13th June

“We’ve normalised puberty. We’ve made pregnancy part of public health. Now, it’s time to do the same for menopause,” says Mish, who has spent over a decade championing better education around women’s health.

But this isn’t your typical textbook seminar. The MTM workshops are hands-on, engaging, and rooted in real conversations—because, as Mish puts it, “Women want to feel seen, not lectured. What’s missing from most menopause education is how to talk about it—and that’s exactly what we’re teaching.”

Participants will walk away knowing how to ask the right questions, explain concepts with confidence, and most importantly, offer empathy over overwhelm.

Each ticket also unlocks exclusive online content to reinforce the science, so the live sessions can stay focused on interaction and practice—not PowerPoint slides.

With more professionals seeking to run their own community-based menopause workshops, this initiative marks a powerful shift in how the wellness world supports women through this life stage—because menopause deserves more than silence.

Coaches, fitness professionals and wellness practitioners can find more information on the workshop here with tickets at just $297 and a group discount being available using the code TEAMOF3.
