Organisation Profile

  • Founded in 1992, Jean Hailes for Women's Health reflects the enduring legacy that Dr Jean Hailes made to women’s health. Jean had a far-sighted vision to improve the quality of women’s lives and give them practical information based on the best available evidence. She is credited with being the pioneer of menopause management in Australia.

    In 1971, Jean established the first women’s health clinic dedicated to midlife and menopause. She had an absolute passion for improving the health and wellbeing of all women. Her expertise and determination to make a difference not only shaped hugely positive outcomes during her lifetime, they also inspired the creation of the Jean Hailes Foundation (now known as Jean Hailes), following her passing in 1988.

    Our mission is to be a world-class health service for women, working through education, clinical practice and research.
