Continence Foundation of Australia

The Continence Foundation of Australia is the National peak body promoting bladder and bowel health.

The Continence Foundation of Australia is the national peak body promoting bladder and bowel health. It is our vision to have a community free of the stigma of incontinence. We provide information on funding, referral and products as well as free resources for individuals, carers and professionals to help treat bladder and bowel control problems.

We manage the National Continence Helpline on behalf of the Government.

The National Continence Helpline (1800 330 066) is a free telephone advisory service staffed by a team of continence nurse advisors who provide information, education and advice to callers with bladder and or bowel problems which may include incontinence, constipation, failure of bladder to empty or who are caring for someone with such conditions. The Helpline also provides information and advice to health professionals. The Helpline is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and available to anyone living in Australia. It operates 8am-8pm (AEST) Monday to Friday.
