There is a range of events held each year including social, CPD and student events to connect and support recent graduates.

The Smart Eye Start initiative encourages all parents to take their children to have a full eye examination at an optometry practice prior to commencing school (both prior to Prep and once again before Year 7).

As these years deliver the foundations to children’s education, visiting a local optometrist prior to schooling will ensure their best chance at reaching their full potential. Hundreds of optometrists, schools, and kindergartens have already signed on to promote and advertise the initiative.

More information is available on the Smart Eye Start website.
