Organisation Summary

Established in 1958 as Ileostomy Association of NSW, we changed our name in 2008 to better reflect our current operations. ONL is a self-help group of people who have undergone surgery resulting in an Ileal Conduit, Ileostomy, Colostomy, Urostomy or other external pouch procedure. ONL is a company limited by guarantee and members have limited liability. A copy of our constitution is available to members on request.

As a not-for-profit company, ONL is reliant on the support of members, friends, volunteers and a very dedicated paid staff. ONL is endorsed as an income tax exempt charitable entity and as a deductible gift recipient. Funds to continue our member services come from fees for distribution of Ostomy appliances under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS); sale of non-PBS products; interest earned on retained funds invested in bank deposits; sale of raffle tickets; donations and bequests.
