History of The Immunisation Alliance of Western Australia
The Alliance is a group of people in Western Australia who are
pro- immunisation and have been meeting regularly since 2007. The
primary aim is to share knowledge and provide information to
consumers, to assist in making an informed decision on
immunisation.
The Alliance benefitted recently from funding from the
Department of Health to establish an office and employ a project
officer on a part time basis on a 2 year contract. The Alliance has
deductible gift recipient and tax concession charity status.
It operates as a non-profit and independent body.
The Alliance has consumer representatives and professionals
representing organisations working in Immunisation, ensuring that
the information provided to our consumers on the website and
through our phone line and publications is current and
scientifically informed.
We would welcome new members from all walks of life. The meeting
is usually for about two hours of an evening once a month. For
those unable to attend we offer teleconferencing and the
opportunity to receive email updates on the activities of the
Alliance.
