Continence NZ was established to provide education and support to people living with incontinence, caregivers, health professionals and the general public. From small beginnings, our annual public awareness campaign has developed into an effective method of promoting awareness of continence problems and providing access to professional help.
We also have a role in lobbying government to provide access to equitable, standardised continence services throughout New Zealand. We thank you for taking the time to view our site and hope you find it assists you.
We understand that the impact of incontinence can be significant, and you are not alone in your journey. Our friendly and passionate team are here to help. If you are still in need of continence related information after browsing the site please don't hesitate to contact us on 0800 650 659, by using the contact form on this website, or by emailing info@continence.org.nz.

Continence NZ's Executive Committee resolved at a face-to-face meeting on 24 June 2007 to establish a disclosure policy with respect to presentations at Continence NZ meetings and for the executive members. The aim was for the policy to be concordant with that published on the International Continence Society website.
