Vision 2020 Australia, in collaboration with 14 organisations working in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander eye health, is calling on the Australian Government to build on its commitment to close the gap in eye health and vision care.
The 12 recommendations in Closing the Gap in Eye Health and Vision Care by 2020 set out program and implementation priorities endorsed by the eye health and vision care sector.
It builds on Vision 2020 Australia’s successful first proposal in 2015, which saw measures such as the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare’s Indigenous eye health report introduced.
