A $900,000 investment will see Victorian students learn about menstrual health and pelvic pain from next year. A study of 1000 girls aged 16-18 years in Canberra found 21 per cent had severe pain with periods, and 26 per cent missed school because of period symptoms. The Allan Government has pledged at least 400 in-person sessions will be delivered to public schools. Topics will include “curriculum-aligned, age-appropriate and evidence-based information”.
