Have you had Polio or know someone who has?
Between the 1930's and 1960's approximately 70,000 Australians contracted Polio. Most people recovered from Polio with varying levels of disability, going on to lead active lives.
However, thousands of people now in their 40s, 50s, 60s and older are experiencing what is called the Late Effects of Polio or Post Polio Syndrome. Post Polio Syndrome is a set of unexpected new symptons occuring some 14-50 years after the initial infection.
Polio Network Victoria is a free service that provides relevant and accessible information, referral and support services to people who have had Polio, their families, carers and advocates, with support groups meeting across the state including Casey.
