Aboriginal immunisation is a priority of the Communicable Disease Control Directorate (CDCD) Immunisation Program. The WA Aboriginal Immunisation Network (WA AIN) was established to facilitate a systemwide approach to improve Aboriginal immunisation rates across WA. Representatives from both government and non-government organisations working in Aboriginal immunisation currently make up the network.
The WA AIN aims to bring together individuals and organisations committed to improving immunisation coverage rates in the Aboriginal community. Therefore, any person with a vested interest in improving Aboriginal health, specifically relating to immunisation are encouraged to join the network.
The CDCD Immunisation Program provides secretariat support to the AIN. To contact the network, please email AIN@health.wa.gov.au.
Forums
Annual workshops (forums) are held to to create a network that consists of diverse stakeholders from both public and private sectors, to facilitate a system-wide approach to improving Aboriginal immunisation outcomes. The forum provides an opportunity for all those working in Aboriginal immunisation to share information on current projects and develop future ideas to achieve better immunisation coverage in the WA Aboriginal community.
