Hi, I live on the Gold Coast and after nearly 30 years my jpouch decided to stop working so now back to the illeostomy
In Australia we have a stoma scheme under the Federal Government - assuming it hasn't changed you pay a yearly membership, I think it's summit like $100 and the stoma nurse from where it was all done gives you your order
Hope this helps
Hi,
I had an Ostomy from March till June 2017. Yes there is a scheme under the Australian Federal Gov where you pay $55 membership and receive all appliances and supplies etc free. You deal directly with The Stoma Association from then on not the nurses for supplies. Delivery cost is extra. There are restrictions on quantities per month but I never ran out.
If you need their number let me know and I'll get it for you.
