HealthInfoNet Cafe

The WA Sexual Health Forum was held on Wednesday 4 and Thursday 5 November 2009 at the All Seasons Hotel Northbridge. The forum sought to strengthen networks between service providers involved in sexual health and Aboriginal community members. Delegates attending the forum came from all over the state and included people who were working, or had an interest, in sexual health as well as local community members. The forum presenters came from a range of organisations such as: Canning Division of General Practice; HALO; Save the Children Kununurra; and Great Southern Aboriginal Health Service. The HealthInfoNet held an Internet cafe on the first day of the forum and spoke to many of the delegates regarding the work of the HealthInfoNet, website navigation, and the utility of the website for forum delegates.
