Hello, health reporter Lauren Roberts here with your weekly news update.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) officially has a new name: polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS).

The change to the previously "very inaccurate" name comes after 14 years of research and 22,000 survey responses.

Monash University's Helena Teede, who led the renaming project, told me the old name reduced this complex, lifelong condition to a misunderstanding about "cysts", with a disproportionate focus on the ovaries.

New research from earlier this week, also co-authored by Professor Teede, showed women with PMOS did not have a higher rate of abnormal ovarian cysts than women without the condition.

She said the new name, PMOS, emphasised the condition's hormonal and metabolic impacts. This in turn would mean fewer misdiagnoses and better treatment for women of all ages with the condition.

Meanwhile, new figures released by the federal government show it takes 12 months on average to get a spot in an aged care home or secure at-home support.

It's the first report since the new Aged Care Act made it mandatory for the government to publicly release wait times every quarter for funded aged care services.

The government has been accused of releasing the data on budget day to avoid scrutiny.
