Welcome to Queensland Stoma Association

Welcome to the website of the QUEENSLAND STOMA ASSOCIATION INC. Established in 1960, Queensland Stoma Association is a not for profit self-help group offering support, assistance and information for people with an ileostomy, colostomy or urostomy. People who have had this type of surgery are known as "ostomates".

The objective of the Association is to promote the wellbeing of all ostomates within the community. A major role of the Association is to distribute free stoma appliances under a fixed arrangement with the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing through the "Stoma Appliance Scheme".

The Association is managed by a small group of employees who are fully experienced in the requirements of the Stoma Appliance Scheme, and assisted by a number of voluntary helpers, most of whom have a stoma.The Association has a Committee of Management elected from and by members. New volunteers are most welcome.

The Association is open for business from 8.30am to 2.30pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. We are closed on Wednesdays, Fridays and Public Holidays.
