Our mission
We’re on a mission to help you feel like you, all year round and we’re doing it by challenging the outdated approach to an experience shared by half the population.
With Juniper, you don’t need to hide it. You don’t have to ‘suck it up’. You don’t have to go it alone. 4,000,000 Australian women are right there with you, and so are we.
We’re helping you find the answers you seek, discover treatments that work for you, and connect with a like-minded community.
Our vision
We believe in a new and improved approach to menopause and we’re working hard to make it happen.
Menopause is talked about, better recognised, and shared
New societal norms that create empathy, understanding and empowerment
Easy, affordable and ongoing access to specialist doctors
Nuanced and informed discussions around the safe and effective modern treatments
Menopause is recognised and accommodated at home, in social groups, and at work
Shame and secrecy around menopause and symptoms
An attitude of dread and stoicism to menopausal years
Impersonal and dismissive appointments with GPs
Outdated approach and misinformation around treatments
Women pushing through pain and discomfort in silence
We’re proud of the work we’ve done so far to help Australian women navigate menopause. But there’s much more to come.

We facilitate easy, online access to Australian doctors who have experience in recognising and treating menopause. It’s important to us that all women feel heard, included, and cared for.
Backed by the latest evidence and advancements and alongside a team of leading menopause experts, we’re giving women agency over their hormonal health.
