HepatitisWA and WAAC have come together as thread: community + health

We are very pleased to announce that WAAC and HepatitisWA have come together as thread: community + health, forming a unified organisation with a focus on meeting the diverse needs of our shared communities in one combined approach to healthcare and client support.

Coming together gives us greater scale and capacity to provide care for our shared communities. It means more resources can go into the services people use, our staff can be better supported, and the organisation will be stronger together than we would be apart.

Our new name, thread: community + health, reflects what has always run through both organisations and community. A thread carries history forward, holding different pieces together without making them the same, while many threads can come together to make something meaningful and important.

Names and brands carry history and meaning, and neither organisation took that lightly when considering our options moving forward together as one. For that reason, WAAC, HepatitisWA, M Clinic, The Deen Clinic, and Freedom will continue as trusted service names under the thread: community + health umbrella.

While the name is new, the trust, care, and commitment to our communities continue. What changes is what we can now do together.
