Taking back control – free Helpline
Always rushing to find a bathroom or being worried you won’t get there in time is no laughing matter.

embarrassment of urinary incontinence.
The Continence Foundation of Australia encourages people with bladder or bowel control problems to take
back control by contacting the National Continence Helpline on 1800 33 00 66.
The Helpline is an Australian Government initiative, staffed by specialist nurses, who provide confidential
information and advice as well a wide range of free resources.

control.
