Hi, I’m Dr Sian Hebron,
I am a Specialist General Practitioner with over two decades of experience, with a special focus on Menopause and Women’s Health.
Originally from the UK, I graduated from the Royal Free School of Medicine in London before making Australia my home in 1992, where I completed my specialist training in general practice in Queensland.
As a member of the Australasian Menopause Society and the International Menopause Society, I am deeply committed to supporting women through all stages of midlife with compassion and expertise.
Outside of my professional life, I’m a proud mother of two daughters. My passion for adventure and staying active enriches both my practice and personal life, and I believe that life’s journey is best embraced with vitality and curiosity.

What sets The Menopause Connection apart?
My commitment to approaching menopause as a positive, transformative journey rather than something purely to be “managed” or endured.
Here are some key aspects that make me unique:
Expertise and Experience: With over 30 years in general practice and menopause-specific care, I combine this experience with a passion for empowering women, so you’re not just getting medical advice—you’re getting a partner who understands what you’re going through.
Personalised Care: I create individualised treatment plans tailored to your specific symptoms and health goals, providing options in hormone therapy, nutrition, and emotional well-being. I’m here to offer options that fit your unique needs.
Celebration of Menopause: I challenge outdated, negative stereotypes, of menopause. Instead of viewing it as a loss, I embrace it as a time of growth, renewal and self-discovery. My aim is to help you rediscover your inner strength and vitality, turning this time into a phase of life to be celebrated.
Holistic Approach: While I are firmly grounded in evidence-based medicine, I also understand the importance of addressing both physical and emotional well-being. I look at the whole picture—helping you with lifestyle, mental health, and physical changes to ensure you thrive.
Support and Community: The Menopause Connection isn’t just about clinical care; it’s about building a supportive community. I provide ongoing support, resources, and education to help you make informed choices and feel empowered.
