Our Community

Supporting the Fred Hollows Foundation

Our long-term partnership with The Fred Hollows Foundation is helping to improve access to eye care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Pacific Islander communities, strengthening regional eye health services and building the local eye health workforce to help end avoidable blindness. We support The Fred Hollows Foundation through financial and in-kind donations, as well as skilled volunteerism, to ensure people in regional and remote communities can access high-quality, culturally safe, and patient-centric eye care, as well as life-changing eye surgery and treatment.

Since 2011, our donations have helped The Foundation and its program partners to conduct over 320,000 eye tests, perform over 12,000 cataract surgeries and 18,000 other sight-saving operations, deliver 18,000 diabetic retinopathy treatments, and train over 13,000 eye health workers.
