Some great feedback we’ve received in relation to the immunisation course includes:

"I completed the immunisation course last year and once again, thank you for the opportunity through Grant Assist to enable me to do this. I had actually done the course previously, so this served as a refresher. It was important for me to ensure the information provided was still current and that our patients were receiving up-to-date care. For this reason, the course was very beneficial."

"The immunisation program was incredibly rewarding, and it was great to see the impact of the grant in rural areas. Country people really benefited from the program, and I wholeheartedly recommend that it be offered again. The 20-week timeframe was sufficient to complete the course. The difference it made to community health in these regions was significant, and having this knowledge is truly rewarding."

It’s fantastic to hear that the support provided is making a meaningful impact, particularly in rural and regional communities.

We’re proud to support workforce development through these grants and thank each organisation for their continued dedication to high-quality immunisation delivery across country SA.
