There is a good paediatric continence clinic @ monash medical and at the RCH. DS has special needs and is night incontinent, but I think they see neurotypical kids also. Monash has a huge waiting list (took us 8 months), but RCH is a lot quicker. They were so good at listening and to what would work for our family. We could access almost $550 in funding for nappies, but that might be for the special needs, and also got 1 waterproof doona protector, 2 mattress protectors, 3 of those mats to go over he sheets & 2 pillow protectors. That was through the SWEP program. At the appointemnt they had a specialist paed, a continence nurse & a continence physio to consult with.
At 6 I think it should be dealt with, I would not wait longer, as all my reading says waiting longer makes it worse (especially for fecal incontinence).
I would call the hospitals directly to see if you are eligible, or being seeing a paed and asking for help.
