Vaccination plays a vital role in protecting our communities from the spread of disease. As a key partner in the National Immunisation Program, Western NSW Primary Health Network (WNSW PHN) provides comprehensive support to general practices, Aboriginal Medical Services, residential aged care homes (RACHs), and other healthcare providers in our region. Together, we work to maintain and improve vaccination coverage, ensuring that all individuals, especially those at higher risk, are protected against preventable diseases.

Our immunisation support services are designed to assist healthcare providers in delivering high-quality, timely, and accurate vaccinations to their patients. With a focus on improving vaccination coverage, we offer practical resources, professional development and expert guidance to help you meet immunisation goals and improve patient outcomes.
