I have always believed in the power of preventative health care and the importance of looking after the WHOLE woman. Knowledge is power and CHARLI is that expert in your pocket that educates and guides you through the many facets of your health to allow you to UNDERSTAND your body and KNOW the steps to take to look after it.

Dr Tamara Hunter
As a reproductive endocrinologist, I support women through some of their biggest life moments—from conception to complex health challenges. It’s a field that blends medical expertise with deep, compassionate care, building strong, trusting relationships. But not everyone has access to this support due to location, finances, or social barriers. That’s why CHARLI exists—to bridge these gaps with smart technology, delivering the right advice at the right time.

It is a privilege to be able to partner with other healthcare initiatives to genuinely improve women’s healthcare outcomes in Australia. It has been the mission of Endometriosis Australia to support and advocate for those affected by endometriosis. CHARLI, who has partnered with Endometriosis Australia, extends this mission, empowering individual women to access the information and tools they need to drive their own health destiny.

Access to healthcare for women and all people assigned female at birth has been inequitable and difficult for too long. With CHARLI I have a real opportunity to address these inequities and provide trustworthy, easy access to the highest quality women’s healthcare.

I am so honoured to be part of the CHARLI team – a team that is genuinely interested in both improving women’s health outcomes AND addressing the inequities in access to healthcare for all women and people assigned female at birth

Being able to connect with women for their nutrition needs regardless of where they live is so wonderful. Women who live rurally or remotely have, in the past, found it difficult to access specialty healthcare. With CHARLI, this is no longer an issue.

Healthcare is about more than medications or new machines or technologies. Healthcare works best when experts are able to use innovation to facilitate empathetic connection, impart information that encourages insight and control in a person’s health journey and provide access to everyone, no matter who or where they are. These are the principles that underpin CHARLI, and it makes me so proud to see them in action.

Dr Matt Smith
As a gynaecologist and obstetrician, I have looked after women for over 20 years and I am so proud to be part of creating a women’s health platform with our talented team. We worked out that the founding group had a total of over 150 years of experience in women’s health…. How cool is that!? I doubt any women’s health app could claim such expertise….. So please believe us when we say ‘CHARLI really is an expert in your pocket’.

Making women’s health more accessible and empowering.

Since our launch, CHARLI has hit some exciting milestones. We’ve expanded from cycle tracking to include advanced fertility modules, telehealth services, and a growing community of users.

Each step brings us closer to making CHARLI the go-to app for women’s health in Australia.

At CHARLI, innovation never stops. From adding new features to improving our existing ones, we’re constantly evolving. Whether it’s expanding our telehealth options or integrating new health tools, we’re committed to making CHARLI the most comprehensive women’s health app available.
