What people with Incontinence in Jolimont usually need help with
Incontinence is a common condition among older Australians that can significantly affect dignity, confidence, and quality of life if not properly managed. Home care services through a Home Care Package or the Support at Home program can fund nursing assessments, continence aids, and personal care support to help manage incontinence at home. With the right support and products in place, many older people are able to maintain their independence and continue living comfortably at home.
For chronic and complex medical conditions, the best starting point is usually identifying whether the main need is nursing, personal care, therapy, or a flexible combination, then comparing local providers who can adjust support when symptoms change.
What people usually compare locally
- • Availability of nursing or clinical staff with experience in the specific condition
- • Flexibility to adjust support at short notice during symptom changes
- • Coordination with local GPs, specialists, and hospital services
- • Whether the provider can deliver both personal care and clinical support through one service

Understanding Urinary and Bowel Incontinence
Incontinence (involuntary loss of bladder or bowel control) affects approximately 5 million Australians, with prevalence increasing significantly with age. It is one of the most common reasons older Australians require home care support and one of the leading reasons for entry into residential aged care. Urinary incontinence includes stress incontinence (leaking during coughing, sneezing, or exercise), urge incontinence (sudden strong urge followed by leaking), overflow incontinence, and functional incontinence (inability to reach the toilet in time due to mobility or cognitive limitations). Faecal incontinence affects approximately 1 in 20 Australians. Despite being common, incontinence remains stigmatised and underreported. Many people suffer in silence for years before seeking help. With the right assessment, treatment, and support, incontinence can often be significantly improved or managed effectively.
How incontinence affects daily life
Incontinence affects daily life through the constant need for bathroom access, the fear of embarrassing leakage, and the practical burden of managing continence products. Social outings become anxiety-provoking when public toilets may not be accessible or nearby. Sleep is disrupted by nocturia (waking to urinate). Skin irritation and breakdown can occur from prolonged contact with urine. The emotional impact includes shame, embarrassment, depression, and social withdrawal. Many older Australians restrict their activities, stop going out, and become isolated because of incontinence. The financial cost of continence products is also significant, though some are subsidised through the Continence Aids Payment Scheme.
What to look for in a provider
Good incontinence providers start with a proper continence assessment rather than jumping straight to pad management. Ask whether they have access to a continence nurse or physiotherapist who specialises in pelvic floor health, whether they assess the cause of incontinence (not all incontinence is the same), and how they maintain dignity during personal care. Red flags include providers who only supply pads without investigating the cause, who do not know about pelvic floor exercises or bladder training, or whose workers handle continence care without sensitivity and respect for the person's dignity.
How to access funding
For older Australians, incontinence support is accessed through My Aged Care (1800 200 422). A Home Care Package can fund continence assessments, nursing, personal care, and continence products. The Continence Aids Payment Scheme provides a subsidy for continence products for eligible Australians. The National Continence Helpline (1800 330 066) provides free advice and can connect people with local continence services. A continence assessment by a specialist nurse or physiotherapist should be the first step before developing a management plan.
