The eye health and vision sector remains strongly committed to improving eye health and vision care for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across Australia.
Strong Eyes, Strong Communities – a five year plan for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander eye health and vision provides the overarching policy framework that is guiding our collective efforts, and the 24 recommendations that accompany it identify some of the critical actions needed.
