The theme for this year’s Continence Awareness Week during August 6-12 is “Pelvic Floor Function – use it or lose it”.
Organised by The Continence Foundation of Australia (CFA), this annual national event is aimed at raising awareness within the community of the importance of good bladder and bowel control.
Latest figures suggest 3.8 million people in Australia are affected by incontinence.
The CFA is a not for profit organisation and the national peak body for continence management, promotion and advocacy. It manages the National Continence Helpline 1800 33 00 66 which is funded by the Australian Government. The Helpline is staffed by continence nurse advisors who provide free, confidential advice on bladder and bowel problems.
