Ostomy Tasmania is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the rehabilitation and continuing well-being of people of all ages who have undergone surgery resulting in a stoma (colostomy, ileostomy or urostomy). Like similar associations across Australia, Ostomy Tasmania purchases and distributes stoma appliances and related pharmaceutical products to members of our organisation. These products are available free to members through their local association, in accordance with the guidelines set by the Federal Government's Stoma Appliance Scheme.

Our organisation is managed and run by volunteers, with administration assistance provided by three part-time office staff (scroll down to see our office hours and location below). You can meet some of ourvolunteers and staff and read more about Ostomy Tasmania on the About Us page.
If you are a new ostomate seeking general information and support about living with an ostomy we recommend visiting the website of the Australian Council of Stoma Associations, particularly the page Facing Ostomy Surgery . You are also welcome to call us at Ostomy Tasmania to discuss any queries or concerns you may have, and we will do our best to help.
