Jana Pittman
Former Olympian Australian Athlete
The Continence Foundation of Australia is delighted to announce Jana Pittman as one of the keynote speakers presenting at the 33rd National Conference on Incontinence 2025!
Jana Pittman, a two-time world champion and four-time Commonwealth champion in athletics, is renowned for her resilience and determination. Despite facing numerous injuries, Jana transitioned from track and field to become the first woman to represent Australia in both Summer and Winter Olympic Games.
Faced with incontinence through her sporting career in training and performing at the elite level and later postpartum, Jana took active steps to help manage her incontinence through pelvic floor training. Jana has also been active in promoting pelvic health and has supported the Foundation in the work to remove stigma of incontinence within the wider community.
Now a registrar in obstetrics and gynaecology, Jana is also a mother of six and an ambassador of the Australian Gynaecological Cancer Foundation; having been treated for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in 2014. Her unique experiences and history makes her a natural fit for NCOI 2025. The Foundation proudly and warmly welcome her as the first announcement for our Hobart Conference!
