Support for staff of telephone advisory services
As incontinence affects 1 in 4 Australians of all ages and genders, it is most likely you have spoken to a caller with incontinence or who is caring for someone with incontinence. This video is to help staff on telephone advisory services identify callers who may be incontinent or are managing incontinence for the person they care for, and to provide them with the right information and referral.
