FemHQ builds the tools that help you navigate perimenopause and menopause, at home and at work. Empowering you to understand what's happening in your body and mind, and giving your workplace the tools to support you.
When menopause symptoms hit, people face limited choices: push through in silence, or step back from their careers.
Without support, people take leave for symptoms that could be managed with simple workplace adjustments.
10% leave the workforce entirely, losing income, cognitive engagement, social connection, and career momentum.
Employers want to help but don't know what works. There's no research on which interventions actually reduce absenteeism.
Crest helps you understand your menopause journey. Plan Ahead helps organisations support their people. Together, they close the gap between what you experience and what workplaces see.
Your personal menopause companion. Track symptoms, understand your patterns, and get early warning signals so you can plan around difficult days instead of being blindsided by them.
Predictive capacity planning that helps employees manage their workload around symptoms, and helps organisations retain experienced people without requiring health disclosure.
Crest helps you understand your perimenopause and menopause journey by tracking symptoms, spotting patterns, and giving you early warning signals so you can plan around difficult days.
Plan Ahead gives organisations the tools to support employees through menopause: capacity planning, privacy-protected signalling, and adjustment tracking, all without anyone needing to disclose their health.
Plan Ahead is built in partnership with a leading Australian university, contributing to the first peer-reviewed research linking menopause symptoms to workplace outcomes.
The goal isn't just reducing costs. It's shifting from leave-taking and workforce exit to flexible arrangements that keep experienced people thriving. Plan Ahead empowers employees to manage their workload around their symptoms, while giving organisations the insights they need to offer meaningful support.
All data anonymised. No individual health information visible.
FemHQ is partnered with a leading Australian university research group, working toward the first peer-reviewed evidence linking menopause symptoms to workplace productivity outcomes.
Academic collaboration providing research design, clinical rigour, and ethics oversight for workplace menopause research.
Research designed to measure which workplace support approaches actually reduce absenteeism and improve outcomes.
All research data is anonymised. Individual health information is never shared with employers or third parties.
Expanding workplace gender equality reporting requirements from 2026 create regulatory tailwind for evidence-based support tools.
"I'm a scientist who spent years in Defence. When I hit perimenopause, I realised there was nothing to help me understand what was happening, or help my workplace support me. So I started building the tools I wished existed."
