Market Insights Report 2026: HRT Patch Access in Australia
LORAI Health’s Community Impact Report brings together insights from a national survey of 417 women navigating perimenopause and menopause in Australia.
The findings reveal widespread disruption caused by ongoing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) patch shortages, including forced treatment changes, symptom recurrence, and barriers to access.
This report explores the clinical, economic, and market implications of these shortages, and highlights the need for more resilient supply pathways for essential therapies.
