The Western Australia Department of Health is currently conducting a public consultation regarding a proposal to enact a No Jab No Play law, which will prohibit incompletely vaccinated children being enrolled in childcare and kindergarten.
As part of the consultation, members of the public, and other interest parties, have been invited to answer 25 questions via an online form. The online form is easy to use, and there is an option to save your responses, and come back to it later, before making your final submission. You do not need to be a resident of Western Australia to make a submission.
We have prepared a simplified guide, which is intended to make it easy for citizens who support vaccine freedom of choice to have a say in vaccination policy in Western Australia. You do not have to respond to all questions, and instead you may prefer to respond to only those questions that are relevant or important to you. This guide is based on the Guiding Questions document provided on the public consultation website.
You will see that we have provided some examples for most questions, which can be easily copied and pasted into the online form (feel free to put these examples into your own words), or you may prefer to submit other examples.
The AVN will be making its own comprehensive submission.
The consultation closes on Tuesday 26 March 2019, at 5.00pm Western Standard Time.
If you have any questions about how to make a submission to the public consultation, a volunteer will be available to answer your questions on the AVN Facebook page for the next week. This article will be pinned to the top of the AVN Facebook page.
