The Stoma Appliance Scheme (SAS), is managed by the Australian Government and funded under Medicare. It provides free stoma related products.
OASA receives funds via the annual membership (Access) fee and administration fee in addition to a small payment from the Australian Government of 2.75% of the cost of the products we dispense to help cover costs to maintain the building, pay our bills, Stomal Therapy Nurse and much more. It is very challenging to remain financial! Please donate today to help us help you.
