Stomal Therapy Week June 2025

This year Australian and New Zealand stomal therapy nurses are collaborating to spread the message of celebrating ‘Ostomateship’ across both countries. Ostomateship is recognising the connection between ostomates and those who support them. These supporters include families, carers, ostomy associations, support groups, industry, stomal therapy nurses and other members of the health care team.

Stomal Therapy Week is a marvellous opportunity to celebrate ostomates and the many people that contribute to their wellbeing. We would be grateful if you would promote Stomal Therapy Week and the Ostomateship message throughout your networks, including your state stoma support groups. 

There are a range of items that can be downloaded from the Australian Association of Stomal Therapy Nurses website eg poster, screensaver and email footer, I have attached them to this email for your convenience, but they are also available via the link: https://stomaltherapy.au/australian-stomal-therapy-week/
