Dear member,
2025/2026 Stoma Appliance Scheme Access + Association Membership Fee is coming up.
The fee is due by the 30th June 2025. As you may imagine, collecting the fees from our 4000 + members is an administrative challenge. Therefore, we would appreciate your payment any time from now.
The Stoma Appliance Scheme Access + Association Membership Fee has stayed the same for the last 3 years. However, as advised at the last annual general meeting the fees for 2025/2026 have been increased by $10 to ensure that the services WAOA provides to our members remain viable. (Full members $100, concession members $90).
Payments can be made:
- Preferably: Online on www.waostomy.org.au
- Via credit card, please call 9272 1833
- Via direct debit – please contact us for details
In accordance with the guidelines of the Stoma Appliance Scheme the Department of Health requires ostomates to be a financial member of an association to access ostomy supplies.
Please understand the WA Ostomy Association (like most of the other associations) is a not-for-profit organisation. We rely on our dedicated volunteers to provide essential services to all our members. We have limited resources available and depend on the membership fees and donations to be able to operate.
If you have paid your fees, please disregard this message.
If this payment causes financial hardship, please contact us to arrange to pay by instalments or apply in writing to have this fee waived.
Thank you for your understanding.
