Australian Menopause Centre

I think others have posted similar - spooked and didn’t join or joined and got ripped off. The whole thing comes across as a total scam.There’s no way I’d provide medical records over the phone, especially when the operator doesn’t even sound like she’s in Australia - who knows we’re your private information might end up!Steer clear IMHO.

Extortion - $300 to sign up, once money received - medication worth $50 sent and then zero contact. Funds @ $300 are automatically deducted from your account monthly. If you are lucky enough to get hold of someone and you explain that they have not provided what you have paid for - you are asked if you are feeling anxious and stressed...avoid at all costs

After the tele 'consult' I was bombarded with emails and phone calls from this lot trying to get $$ out of me. When I decided to give them a try, they sent me a CONTRACT to sign so that even if I decided to not continue I would still have to PAY! As soon as I informed them I wasn't signing a contract - CRICKETS! Harassment 101 and then dropped when not an easy stream of money for nothing! $70+ per fortnight for meds?? Keep in mind they prescribe hormone treatment without a FBC being ordered first, so HOW do they know what hormone levels you are at??????? DODGY!

BUYER BEWARE....I have been with the Menopause Centre for years. Before you sign up with this place, please be aware that you are paying for a program, not medication. I had my medication halved due to finance, (its extremely expensive) and I was charged the same. When i called them, they said that no matter what, the program price never changes, no matter what you get. Understand what you are getting into, because believe me, they will not inform you! You will continue to get charged if you dont ask the questions. Please go to you own GP and ask for the same medication in a prescription, you will save $190.00. The medication is a fraction of the cost of the program. If you are like me and dont need the appts for Natropathy, weight loss etc, then do NOT bother with this program, just go to your own GP! I have wasted so much money and I'm ashamed of myself for not asking enough questions.

Totally peed off with AMC. I have been their customer for over ten years but until recently have been very disappointed. For years I called when I needed more of my prescription, within a 10 day timing. Not a problem and the amount was $217 for two months. Then they persuaded me to go on direct debit. From then on they were taking my money out three weeks before my next batch was due then at Christmas they took it out two weeks after the last delivery when I wasn't due till late January. I then asked for the money to be returned, which they did and they said I would have to pay an extra $40 a payment if I wanted not to have direct debit.I have been off the program since before Christmas now and am investigating other alternatives, which there are many now and a lot cheaper. Dodgy to say the least.

Abrupt customer service with consulting doctor. Don’t be misled by the AMC website to think that AMC is offering anything different from yr GP or specialist by calling their treatment a programme. They are just prescribing HRTs and judging from comments from others on selling these medications to you with a markup on price. Websites makes the process sound like a unique tailored experience - misleading.

These people are incredibly dodgy like other reviewers have mentioned. They ask for a lot of personal information on the phone, asking for passwords and secret questions when I just wanted to see a doctor, I got spooked and called it all off.The representative didn't even seem like they're in Australia which was wierd. She kept calling me ma'am like, who in Australia would call you ma'am all the time. Extremely dodgy. Do not engage.

Terrible I spent thousands of dollars with them & regularly it was either never dispensed on time, wrong somehow, labeled incorrectly or the last few batches unreadable to determine what dosage to take. Symptoms got worse so they continued to just up the dosage based on programs consults telling Doctors what should be done. Unless of course I could afford to go up a level, does that mean I actually get labels on the medication?

An absolutley wonderful organisation! I have been with AMC for about 7 years and I don't think I could have survived without them :)From the beginning of inquiring about their programme, to speaking with a doctor, oodles of information and then signing up, it has been a very easy and professional experience. They monitor you on a monthly basis and are available 24/7. You get regular pathology screening, clinical appts with support staff, nurses and doctors who follow your progress, symptoms and your medicine dosage so you are always on track. Everything is done via phone and email, so easy and they make you feel important and not just a number in the system. Heaps of extra add ons, one being a nutritionist and they do a monthly newsletter with overflowing ideas to help you 'enjoy' this very daunting change of life which we all go through.I highly recommend AMC and I think I may miss them all when I come through the other side! Thank you to everyone at AMC for your continued support!

Scheduled a call at a specific time then called 7 minutes early and let the phone ring only for a few seconds before hanging up. They left a mumbling voice message asking me to call back. When I did I sat on hold for ages before I hung up.They asked for all my medical info which was unsettling when I hadn't even spoken to anyone to get a sense of what they were all about.Also the only calls I did get from admin people seemed to come from offshore.I don't think this organisation is worth investing any time or energy. You're better off with your GP.
