This website has been designed to provide self-guided tools, resources and information about advocacy and communications, immunisation and vaccines. It can be used by those new to advocacy, as well as more experienced advocates. You may want to work individually, or with your colleagues and partners to develop your advocacy strategy and implementation plan.
You are invited to work through the modules and learn how to develop an effective and evidence-based advocacy strategy, including key messages, partnerships and, importantly, monitoring and evaluation. There are stories and case studies of how others have developed and implemented effective advocacy and communications approaches.
It is recommended that you follow the sequence of modules, however you may find it more useful to dip into topics most relevant to your needs.
Resources on immunisation, vaccines and advocacy
Each module includes a TOOLBOX with downloadable worksheets, documents and resources related to advocacy and communications, as well as immunisation and vaccines. Worksheets are available in PDF and Excel formats to fill in or modify as you wish. Each module is downloadable as a PDF, or you can download the entire website in PDF format.
This is also a platform to share your knowledge and experiences with fellow advocates and champions. We encourage you to share ideas for content or resources and to tell your stories of advocating for immunisation in the ACT section.
