In Australia, we have one of the highest prevalence of IBD in the world, estimated to be at 330 per 100,000 Australians.
Research is crucial for improved care but traditionally the direction research takes is largely influenced by scientists and the pharmaceutical industry. For the first time, Crohn’s & Colitis Australia (CCA) has brought the IBD community’s voice into the equation through the IBD Research Priorities Project.

“Offering up my opinion on behalf of people like myself was so rewarding and I felt like I could be really making a difference for the world of Crohn’s and colitis. The Research Priorities Project is so important because it allows people like me to have a real voice in terms of what we want answers on in regards to Crohn’s and colitis.”
– Marnie O’Brien, Steering Committee member living with IBD
