31: Dr Kelly Teagle: transforming menopause care for Australian women

Dear Menopause

10-11-2022 • 49 mins

During a career in medicine that included time with the Royal Australian Air Force, Dr Kelly Teagle developed an interest in women’s medicine with further studies and experience in reproductive and sexual health.

Ironically, at the age of 42 she experienced an early menopause herself. Her symptoms were debilitating but very responsive to treatment, which led her to realise the importance of getting access to timely advice and care during menopause. Dr Teagle also noticed that her services could be largely delivered just by talking to women, and so the idea for a Telehealth menopause clinic was born and WellFemme was founded in late 2018.

WellFemme exists to ensure that ALL Australian women have access to evidence-based menopause and perimenopause care. Kelly and her team achieve this by:

  • Delivering Telehealth peri/menopause consultations Australia-wide,
  • Recruiting and developing a team of caring and motivated menopause doctors,
  • Providing high- quality, evidence-based menopause information through their website, webinars and social media channels,
  • Lobbying for continued Medicare Telehealth rebates for services provided by GP-subspecialists in reproductive and sexual healthcare,
  • Increasing menopause awareness and training for healthcare professionals, and
  • Promoting and facilitating conversations to educate and empower women.

WellFemme’s team of doctors are passionate about helping menopausal women reach their best potential. “Shared experiences are empowering experiences” says Dr Kelly Teagle. “This happens when we embrace and discuss what’s happening to us. Normalising menopause breaks down the fear and frees women to explore the potential of their “new normal”. That is WellFemme’s vision: healthy, happy women.”
