Provide volunteer support
Volunteers are an integral part of the CCA community and are located across Australia. By dedicating a few hours on a one-off or regular basis, our volunteers provide valued support to the IBD community.
Expressions of interest in the above roles can be made via email to our Volunteer and Programs Coordinator: [email protected], or by calling 03 9815 1266 (option 4) during business hours AEST.
Support Group Facilitator Role
Support Group Facilitators co-ordinate and facilitate support group meetings (monthly or bimonthly). Support Group meetings aim to reduce personal distress and strengthen the belief that an individual with IBD can manage their unique personal challenges.
