Continence Foundation of Australia

The Continence Foundation of Australia is a not-for-profit organisation and the national peak body for incontinence prevention, management, education, awareness, information and advocacy. With representation in each state and territory, we provide information, support and resources for individuals, carers and professionals.

The Continence Foundation of Australia exists to serve all Australians by promoting bladder and bowel health.

This will be achieved by:

• working with consumers, professionals, industry and government

• facilitating access to continence support services through advocacy

• providing evidence-based information and advice

• building the capacity and capability of the workforce

• supporting research to achieve the Foundation’s objectives.

Principles:

• enable through information

• leadership

• partnership and collaboration

• capacity building

• integrity and accountability

• best practice.

The National Continence Helpline (1800 33 00 66) is staffed by Nurse Continence Specialists who offer free and confidential information, advice and support to people affected by incontinence. They also provide a wide range of continence resources and information on local continence services.
