Hello everyone,

Living in Austria often means navigating a new healthcare system and social norms, particularly around women’s health. From finding the right medical support to understanding what’s openly discussed or not, experiences can vary widely.

We would love to hear how things work in Austria, what’s been easy or challenging, and what you wish you’d known sooner:

How easy is it to find dedicated medical support for women’s health in Austria: gynecology, pregnancy and childbirth, menopause, mental health, reproductive health, etc.?

Are there support groups, communities, or informal networks for expat women in your area?

How are women’s health topics perceived locally? Are people open to discussing them, or do you notice taboos or stigma?

What services, professionals, organizations, or resources have been the most helpful to you?

What surprised you the most in how women’s health issues are treated, talked about, or prioritized in Austria?

Share your insights to help fellow expats and soon-to-be expats.

Thanks,

Cheryl
