Crohn's & Colitis Australia is a not-for-profit organisation with an honorary board of directors. CCA does not receive any state or federal government funding, and relies on membership and donations to run its programs.
Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis affect more than 70,000 Australians. Crohn's & Colitis Australia support the Crohn's and colitis community with a focus on confidential support programs including education, advocacy, counselling, increasing awareness and generating and utilising funds for research.
While we invest in research and wait for a cure for inflammatory bowel disease, CCA will continue to advocate for world best treatments and health services for those living with Crohn's and colitis. Through our programs we offer education and support for Australia's growing Crohn's and colitis community. Importantly, our services are offered free of charge. As we receive no funding from government sources, we rely on the generosity of volunteers, donors and community fundraising to continue our work.
