Continence Health Australia

One of the many highlights of this year’s National Continence Health Conference was hearing from Dr Linda Brubaker. So many thoughtful insights, honest conversations and important reminders about the impact better continence care and awareness can have on people’s everyday lives. #NCHC2026

Continence Health Australia is proud to announce the Carer of the Year Award 2026. This award acknowledges the important - but often overlooked - role of the 3 million at-home carers across Australia. Many of these carers are responsible for the complex role of providing bladder and bowel care. Congratulations to Muoy Kucan, Carer of the Year 2026! For over 20 years, Muoy has been the primary carer for her family, who all experience a range of complex medical needs, yet never presented herself as burdened. Her challenges have been relentless, but her response to them is nothing short of remarkable. Share your experience using #NCHC2026 #NationalContinenceHealthConference #careroftheyear #carer
