The goals of CCA include system change and improvement in quality of care, engagement with, empowerment and education of people living with Crohn’s and colitis, health care professionals and carers, to raise awareness of Crohn’s and colitis and promote gut health within the community, and to build research capacity in the search for a cause or cure.

While CCA invest in research for a cure, CCA continues to advocate for world best treatments and health services for those living with IBD. Through their programs they offer education and support for Australia’s growing Crohn’s and colitis community and raise awareness of the disease. Importantly, services are offered free of charge.
