About Feeding Tube Awareness Week


ausEE Inc. promotes Australasia’s Feeding Tube Awareness Week, which will be celebrated nationally, 4-10 February 2024.
With your support we can increase awareness and understanding in the community by raising some of the challenges faced and highlighting the day-to-day impact of tube feeding on individuals, carers and families.
Feeding Tube Awareness Week (FTAW) is about bringing everyone together who has a feeding tube, whatever the reason may be. On this website you will find #FTAW2024 resources and see what landmarks are lighting up purple and blue in support! Read my tubie stories, find support networks, resources and links to help people managing tube feeding all year round.
