About Feeding Tube Awareness Week 2021


ausEE Inc. is promoting Australia’s Feeding Tube Awareness Week to be marked nationally from 7–13 February 2021.

With your support we can increase awareness and understanding to the greater community about tube feeding and raise some of the challenges faced and highlight the day-to-day impact on individuals, carers and families.

This week is about bringing everyone together who has a feeding tube, whatever the reason may be. On this website you will find resources for #FTAW2021 and stories, support options, resources and links to help those living with a feeding tube all year round.
