Women – reproductive health leave
This question is around reproductive health issues; it's another one that overlaps. Reproductive health issues like menstruation and menopause have physically and mentally debilitating effects on women, on trans men and gender‑diverse people, and it impacts their ability to participate in the workforce and for some it leads to an early retirement with serious financial impacts.

Health – Reproductive Leave
Minister, I just wanted to touch on the Gender Budget Statement and obviously there's a large proportion of women in the Health workforce. You and I co‑hosted a forum on menopause and perimenopause - a good time to pause there, wasn't it? There's a significant concern for women in relation to having those benefits in the workplace and, clearly, Ms Haddad was talking about retention or work health and safety around issues. Having and retaining more staff rather than losing them would be of benefit. I was just wondering what sort of benefit you may see to having some sort of reproductive leave and recognition of that.
