Although polio has been eradicated in Australia, some of the people who survived their initial infection have developed further symptoms many years later. These symptoms are known as ‘post polio syndrome’ or ‘late effects of polio’.

For more information see:

RACGP (This web site contains medical information).

Post polio support groups have been established in many Australian regions. Your local health authority can provide information on these.
