The Polio Australia Management Committee came together in Sydney from around Australia on 5/6/7 December for our 4th Annual General Meeting and Strategic Planning Forum. The meeting was held at St Joseph’s Centre for Reflective Living, Baulkham Hills – a wonderfully peaceful, accessible and, importantly, affordable venue which we enjoy each year at this time.
