AEA WA is the Western Australian Chapter of the AEA and was formed in late 2000. 

AEA WA's role is to encourage professional development and networking among epidemiologists, public health professionals and students in Western Australia. Anyone can join and participate in AEA WA, and you don’t have to be an AEA member to do so.

PEGnet, our email-based information distribution channel, is a useful means of keeping AEA WA members informed about various activities and seminars in the local region. To join PEGnet go to http://maillists.uwa.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/pegnet and follow the links to subscribe.

Our activities include the AEA WA Seminar Series and the AEA WA Annual Scientific Meeting in which people can share their thoughts and experiences in a collegial, supportive and casual environment.

Anyone interested in participating in AEA WA activities please contact our convenor.
