Vision 2020 Australia is the sole, national eye health peak industry body.
We have over 50 members who work across the spectrum of research, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, representation of or service provision for people who are blind or have low vision, and also in all major areas of participation including employment and education.
As the national peak, we provide the only mechanism in Australia which enables:
- Collaboration across the entire sector
- A compelling and consistent single voice to government and other stakeholders including
- the private sector
- Impartial information and insight to inform members’ service delivery and strategy.
In this way, together with our members, we:
- Aim to integrate eye health with broader health and social systems, narrowing access gaps
- Build participative structures in critical foundational determinants of health and wellbeing including education and employment; and
- Improve aged and disability service systems to better meet the needs of people who are blind or have low vision and ensure full participation and independence
- Aim to ensure eye health and vision care are included as an international development priority.
Our Vision
Our vision is the elimination of preventable blindness and vision loss and the full participation of people who are blind or have low vision in the community.
