We invite you to submit an abstract for consideration for the 2026 Australasian Menopause Society Congress being held from 11-13 September 2026 in Sydney.
The conference is the region’s premier meeting bringing together academics, researchers, experts, professionals, and early career researchers to share their knowledge, insights, and innovations in Bridging the Gap from Theory to Practice in Menopause Care. The conference offers meaningful exchanges, discussions, and networking with professionals across our region and internationally. This conference is a crucial platform for advancing knowledge, fostering collaboration, and promoting excellence in our diverse scientific community.
We encourage you to take this opportunity to present your research, innovative programs, and significant findings to an engaged audience of professionals in the community. Presentations at the conference enrich the discussions and contribute to the growth of knowledge in our field.
We offer various presentation formats, including oral presentations, rapid fire presentations, and posters.
Presentations are encouraged to be focused on original research, case studies, frameworks, or practical applications relevant to the menopause. Submissions will be reviewed by our program committee to ensure the selection of high-quality contributions for presentation.
To submit your abstract, please visit our submission portal on this website and follow the instructions provided. Please don’t hesitate to contact our conference managers, at mail@conferencedesign.com.au, if you have any questions.
We look forward to receiving your abstract and having you join us for an inspiring and stimulating conference.

We recognise the considerable contribution that industry partners make to professional and research activities. We also recognise the need for transparency and the disclosure of potential conflicts of interest by acknowledging these relationships in publications and presentations. Where relevant, all authors must include a disclosure of interest statement in their abstract and if accepted in their presentation. For example, The Melon Institute and Metabolism Corp are funded by the University of Oxbridge, UK. No pharmaceutical grants were received in the development of this study.

If presentations are to be used or published in any other format or forum, your specific consent will be requested.
Please ensure you have documented permission to use any images, music or other content in your abstract and presentation. Do not include any images copied from the internet.

During the registration process, attendees agree to the conference Terms & Conditions, which include rules on unauthorised photography and recording of conference material.

Presenters will need to supply a copy of their slides before the conference as a backup in case of technical difficulty.
An abstract is a short document that captures the interest of potential attendees of your session. Your abstract should engage the reader by telling them what your presentation is about. The title of the proposed presentation is also important; short attention-catching titles are the most effective, however, it is also important to ensure that the title describes the subject.
These are questions to consider when writing your abstract.
While the format of your abstract will vary with the topic and type of information you are presenting, most abstracts will include the following:
