This year, Wesfarmers and Telethon Kids Institute celebrated the 30-year anniversary of their partnership. As part of the Institute, the Wesfarmers Centre for Vaccines and Infectious Diseases was established in 2014, with Wesfarmers committing more than $14 million to advance critical research. Since then, the Centre has emerged as a national leader in paediatric infectious disease research, improving the quality of life for children around the world.

In 2024, the Centre used data-driven epidemiology modelling to guide an $11 million Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) immunisation program, currently being implemented across Western Australia to reduce RSV-related hospitalisations among infants.
