Recognising you

We enjoy recognising, honouring and celebrating the success of our members.

We offer a selection of awards to optometrists, at a national and state level, which acknowledge their outstanding work.

We also celebrate our members who receive external acclaim, such as those who receive the Order of Australia, which is the principal means of recognising outstanding members of the community at a national level.

Know your protected workplace rights: Annual leave and blackout periods

Optometry Australia is seeing increased concern from members about leave requests being unreasonably denied and approved requests being cancelled. These actions may breach legal entitlements.  We are working closely with members and the employment law team at Industry Legal Group to address these issues when they arise and help ensure you’re treated fairly at work.

Acknowledgement of Country

In the spirit of reconciliation Optometry Australia acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
