Welcome to PelviGuide. This is a warm, private, and practical space for Australians managing bladder and bowel health — whether you're dealing with it yourself, supporting someone you care for, or working in healthcare. We know this topic can feel uncomfortable to talk about. But you're not alone, and you've come to the right place. Here's what you'll find on this page. At the top, there's a short video about why breaking the silence on bladder and bowel health matters. It's just a few minutes long and well worth a watch. Further down, there's a section called Choose Your Pathway. It has four personalised pathway cards. The first is the Carer pathway — for those supporting a loved one with bladder or bowel continence needs. The second is the Individual pathway — for people managing their own bladder or bowel health. The third is the Health Professional pathway — clinical resources and evidence-based guides for those working in healthcare. And if you're not sure which pathway fits you, there's an I'm Not Sure option — just select the topic that best matches your concern and we'll point you in the right direction. Below these pathway options is an invitation to join PelviGuide by sharing your name and email address. When you join, we'll send personalised tips and trusted resources matched to your pathway — completely free, and you can unsubscribe at any time. PelviGuide has three main areas. The Education Hub has plain-language information about six common bladder and bowel conditions, including stress incontinence, urge incontinence, poor bladder emptying, overactive bladder, and nocturia. Each topic includes simple explanations, common causes, and practical things that can help — with links to trusted organisations like the Continence Foundation of Australia and the Urology Care Foundation. The Exercise Hub has pelvic floor exercises you can follow at home at your own pace, including a video guide from an NHS physiotherapist and a daily training plan to help you build confidence. The Products section shares information about continence aids — including comfortable, discreet washable and reusable options that many people don't know exist. Towards the bottom of the page, there's also an invitation to share PelviGuide with someone who might be quietly struggling. Bladder and bowel leaks affect one in three Australians, but most people suffer in silence. Sharing this page could make a real difference. If you're not sure where to begin, the Choose Your Pathway section is a great place to start. Thank you for being here. Further down the page, there is a section called Your Choice — PelviGuide as a Companion to ACE. This section explains why PelviGuide was created as part of the ACE Care Gap initiative, which aims to transform continence education into personal, practical support for Australians. PelviGuide quietly supports the millions of people living with bladder and bowel leaks — many of whom are managing this alone — by delivering trusted guidance privately, respectfully, and in a way that fits into everyday life. The section highlights five key ways PelviGuide helps: turning education into actionable, step-by-step support; delivering personalised content based on real-life needs; providing private and stigma-free access to continence care guidance; connecting users to trusted Australian resources and specialists; and supporting long-term behaviour change through ongoing, tailored pathways. It also includes this message: Because when people have the ability to choose, they are more likely to engage, understand, and take confident steps toward improving their health and wellbeing. If you would like to learn more about the ACE Care Gap initiative, there is a button at the bottom of that section to visit the ACE website.
