PPNWA is a self help group of Polio survivors
in Western Australia, formed to improve the ability of members to function
as independently and with as few problems as possible as they reach a mature
age.
Polio people are renowned for their independence.
In WA we try to come up with ways to maintain our own control over what
is happening to us. Many of the options we have found in dealing
with "late effects" are simple self-help methods that can apply to anyone
but may be of particular significance for polios.
At the WA Polio Clinic we have gathered a lot
of varied useful information that you can access and we are always looking
for more...

Australian polios can ring Tessa for advice over
the phone
(WST 10am - 5pm).
