Formed in 1985, Crohn’s & Colitis Australia (CCA) is a non-profit organisation and the national peak body that represents approximately 80,000 Australians living with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, two chronic illnesses collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We aim to deliver services that inform, support, and care for people living with IBD in Australia and to promote research aimed at finding a cure.
CCA is the only organisation in Australia to provide these comprehensive services for patients and families. We work hard to raise awareness and educate the public, as well as collaborate closely with the medical profession and government to improve the quality of IBD patient care. Our staff are well equipped to help you understand your illness and connect you with others than can relate to your day to day challenges.
