The Australian Primary Principals Association has issued a press release. The increasing burden on schools to manage the health conditions of students is becomming unsustainable. They need urgent support from qualified health professionals. School Nurses fit the bill, but who funds a health service for an education setting?

Stop The Coward Punch Campaign could be collaborating with like minded organisations like Pat Cronin Foundation, who have established comprehensive educational talks and e-learning materials for schools. WA School Nurses found funding a few years ago to support PCF to come to WA, where they gave 15 free talks to WA schools. PCF could do so much more in this state with more support.

Great news for WA families!

The WA Government has announced 130,000 doses of a needle-free (nasal spray) flu vaccine for children aged 2–12, available from mid-2026. 💙

After one of the toughest flu seasons on record in WA, this is a big step forward to help protect kids, especially as the flu and other viruses are common triggers for asthma flare-ups.

So far this year, there have been more than 17,000 emergency visits and over 1,300 hospital admissions for respiratory illnesses in children.

The FluMist nasal spray is a safe and effective, needle-free way to protect children against the flu — making vaccination a little easier for families.

We welcome this initiative and look forward to seeing more WA children protected from the flu.

We had a great day yesterday, listening to amazing speakers like Hannah Tall, who presented her preliminary research findings from her study that hopes to lead to tailored support in schools for siblings of children with complex health conditions and disability.
We had 60 delegates participating in Hannah’s presentation via a mentimetre survey, delivering insightful responses to her questions.
Thankyou to all our speakers and members for coming together for our annual event. Special mention to our members from Albany for making the journey!
