Today is World IBD Day. 💜

World IBD Day unites people worldwide in their fight against inflammatory bowel diseases.

This year, more than 120 sites across Australia will light up purple to raise awareness and show support for the 180,000+ Australians living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

If you are out and about this evening and happen to see one of the light up sites, be sure to take a snap, share it, and tag Crohns & Colitis Australia!

💙 It’s National Volunteer Week!

Big shoutout to our amazing QSA volunteers. Thanks for everything you do and the difference you make to us and our members every day.

We’re so lucky to have you! QSA quite simply could not do the work that we do without you.

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming the lovely Violet, who recently competed in the Australian Masters Inline Speed Skating Championship in Victoria — and what an achievement it was!
As you can see, Violet truly scooped the pool, bringing home an incredible result.

Congratulations, Violet! Your success is inspiring, and a wonderful reminder that living with an ostomy should never stand in the way of pursuing your goals and dreams. 💕

Today we acknowledge the heart and humanity of our nursing heroes, and thank them for their kindness, resilience, and unwavering care.

You are appreciated more then you will ever know.

Happy International Nurses Day 💙

How good is this!! PA Hospital now has an ostomy friendly toilet for ostomy visitors to use when attending the hospital🎉

Congratulations to the PA Hospital Stomal Therapy nursing team and to Jordan for your outstanding efforts in improving the wellbeing and experience of ostomy patients and visitors at PA Hospital.

This is an incredible achievement that truly makes a difference
