Vision 2020 Australia has submitted its 2024-25 Budget submission outlining sector funding priorities.
This submission calls for investment from the Government to ensure that Australians can access the eye care services they need, when they need them by:
- Supporting a self-determined future for First Nations eye health
- Ensuring eye care, early intervention and education are accessible for all Australian children including those with irreversible vision loss and blindness
- Investing in eye health and vision research.
We wish to thank the valuable contributions and insight from members which ensured the submission is a strong representation of the current eye health and vision care environment. We will continue our advocacy strategies to raise the voice of the sector over the coming months in the lead-up to the Federal Budget in May.
