Welcome to the West Australian Wound Care Association |
The West Australian Wound Care Association is committed to promoting wound management in the state of Western Australia. The West Australian Wound Care Association Inc. (WAWCA) was formed in 1990 by a group of nurses who recognised the need to promote wound care management based on scientifically sound principles.
The association has been multidisciplinary since it's inception. The common interest of the membership is to promote excellence in wound and pressure management with a focus on people with wounds.
In 1994 the Australian Wound Management Association (AWMA) was ratified. The WAWCA is represented at the AWMA meetings by the State Representative who is also a member of the State Executive. |

The association has changed its name and as the part of the AWMA restructuring process, AWMA WA wishes to advise members that annual membership fees will now become due on the 30th June each year. Historically fees were due on the 30th January.
At the AWMA WA AGM, held on 19th November 2011, a change in membership fees to $70 per annum was also voted and passed. This is keeping in line with other states and territories. Due to the change in date for membership and the fee increase, members are being granted five months complimentary membership until membership becomes due in June 2012.
Further information on costs and benefits of membership will be made available as the redevelopment of AWMA and AWMA WA progresses further.
