About the Journal

The Australian and New Zealand Continence Journal (ANZCJ) was established in 1995 and is the official journal of the Australian Continence Foundation and Continence New Zealand. It is Diamond Open Access (Manuscripts are accepted on merit and there is no article process fee), so it is free for authors to publish and free for readers to read. The ANZCJ provides a forum for dissemination of information about current research and practice in the diagnosis, treatment and management of incontinence, and promotion of continence to the wider community. The Journal acts as a forum and exchange of information for all practitioner stakeholders.

For ANZCJ editions 1995-2004 please email us for a copy.

For 2005-2024, please visit Informit who have the archived editions.

The Journal aims to reduce the tyranny of distance and geographic isolation of clinicians. Its mission is to foster new authors and to meet the information needs of practitioners from novice to expert in all fields relating to incontinence.

All practitioners are encouraged to write about their work and experiences to promote the work and innovative practice of all clinicians working in continence across Australasia.

The Journal is unique as it is the only multi-disciplinary journal published, in Australasia, specifically specialising in continence issues.

A variety of topics are possible and include, but are not limited to: outcome studies, aged care, paediatrics, pregnancy and childbirth, novel drug therapies, reviews of devices, surgical or non-surgical interventions and evaluation, assessment articles, literature reviews of incontinence-related topics, home and community care issues and successes, men’s health, nursing management, physiotherapy management, support by other allied health disciplines (including occupational therapy, psychology and social work), the psychological impact of living with incontinence, ethical issues, cultural issues and collaborative approaches to care.

All papers are double-anonymised peer reviewed and may be original research, clinical updates, case studies or evaluation of programs.
