25.01.2022 The 'Can’t Wait Card' is available and issued to all new CCA members formally diagnosed with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, to help them gain access to a toilet in times of urgency. The personalised card is the same size as a credit card for convenient storage, and displays the diagnosed person’s name and CCA member number, identifying that person as someone who requires urgent access to a toilet due to having IBD. To learn more and apply for a 'Can't Wait Card', visit: www.crohnsandcolitis.com.au/cant-wait-card/

24.01.2022 Meet the dynamic duo of Ashleigh and Sophie from NSW! They were both diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2019 at the age of 11, and soon discovered they had the same doctors and lived in the same area. Today, Ashleigh and Sophie support each through their experiences with IBD, and want to help others do the same. They even dyed their hair purple to raise awareness on World IBD Day! They’re really excited to be Live Fearless Ambassadors in 2020, and want everyone living with IBD to remember that they’re not alone. www.livefearlesschallenge.com.au/ambassadors

22.01.2022 Crohn’s & Colitis Australia is undertaking a project with Swinburne University of Technology to improve the delivery of information and services about managing inflammatory bowel diseases. We are seeking people with IBD over 15 years of age, particularly males, and carers of people with IBD to complete an online questionnaire about understanding your health and healthcare. Carers can be a family member or friend who helps or supports any of your daily activities, assists with... medical appointments or health information relating to IBD. You will be asked questions about how you use health services, talk with doctors and other health workers and how you look after your health. The questionnaire will take about 20 minutes to complete online or by contacting CCA for a paper questionnaire. Your participation will provide evidence for the improvement of IBD information and services. The project has been approved by the Swinburne University of Technology Human Research and Ethics Committee (Ref:20202968). For more information and to take the survey: https://www.crohnsandcolitis.com.au/ibdqoc/ibdhlsurvey/

21.01.2022 "One piece of advice that I give myself on my most challenging days to get me going again would be, 'I’m not the only one who may be having a bad day, everyone has their days.

CCA are very proud of Brittani Nicholl and her contribution over many years from a very young age, while at the same time managing her own illness. Earlier this month, Britt was awarded Adult Volunteer of th...e Year at the 2020 NSW Volunteer of the Year Awards: Northern Rivers Ceremony.

Moody lives with ulcerative colitis, and to this day helps raise awareness for Crohn’s & Colitis UK! www.livefearlesschallenge.com.au

I aim to go for 200km walking and 50km rowing to rais...e awareness and show how far I can push my Crohn's. We’re so grateful to have Justan onboard as an ambassador.
