Apart from the ACCAQ, which primarily services all of Queensland and the Northern Rivers/Tweed Districts of NSW, there is only one other IBD organisation in Australia. The Australian Crohn's & Colitis Association, (ACCA), which is based in Victoria, services all parts of Australia not covered by the ACCAQ.

For people interested in stoma associations, contact details for those in Australia and New Zealand are available from this site.

For people with IBD who have developed extra-intestinal manifestations such as Ankylosing Spondylitis or Erythema Nodosum, and for those with intestinal complaints not yet been diagnosed as IBD but which may be Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or Coeliac disease, details of these support associations are included below.

Details have also been provided of two educational bodies that have a focus on the digestive system and are associated with a medical professional organisation.
