SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH US
Sharing your experience with us will help the Foundation to understand the needs and perspectives of a diverse range of consumers and carers to ensure that our work is person-centered and reflects the community’s needs. One of the ways you can do this is by joining the Continence Consumer Network.
We are interested in partnering with:
- A person with lived experience of incontinence
- A carer of a person with lived experience of incontinence
- Potential users of the Foundation’s services, including the broader community who do not have lived experience of incontinence or as a carer
We encourage the following people to join us:
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander people and communities
- Culturally and linguistically diverse communities
- People with disabilities
- Older Australians
- People with lived experience of mental illness
- LGBTQIA+ communities
- Regional, rural, and remote communities
- Young Adults

- Give recommendations to improve incontinence care.
- Advocate on behalf of people experiencing incontinence
- Support the Foundation's vision and mission

Opportunities exist for involvement based on individual time and flexibility.
