About
We are delighted to announce that the recipient of the 2023 CHA Local Community Medal of Distinction is the Vulnerable Populations program team at WA Country Health, led by Kate Kelly
The Vulnerable Populations program is an initiative in Western Australia improving outcomes for at-risk children and their families by ensuring health and wellbeing needs are supported. The team advocates for the children, ensuring that social adversity does not put them on a trajectory of poor health. The team’s passion for child safety, through advocacy and coordination of specialist services ensures that children in their care develop to their full potential, becoming happy and healthy adults.
We congratulate the team in their efforts to ensure the health and wellbeing of vulnerable children are being supported.
