MEMBERSHIP
GOA Membership is
available to any person who wishes to join. You can join as an ostomate or
as an associate.
New ostomates are
usually joined to the association by a Stomal Therapy Nurse and are also
required to complete a Government Form. The Government requires that this form
be completed to allow the Ostomate to access the Stoma Appliance Scheme (S.A.S.).
All ostomates, throughout Australia, are
required to pay the annual National Access Fee and an annual Local Association
Membership Fee. If you are transferring from another association and you have
paid your National Access Fee within that financial year, then only the Local
Association Membership Fee will be required. All fees are renewable on or
before 1st July each year.
GOA application forms are available from the
Association or you can have an application form sent to you by completing the
on-line Membership Application request form.
