For nearly half a century, the Central Australian Aboriginal Congress (Congress) has been at the forefront of advocating for and providing comprehensive, culturally appropriate primary health care services to First Nations communities in and around Alice Springs (Mparntwe).
Optometry Australia (OA) is pleased to announce that it is again offering a bursary to support members to attend the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Eye Health Conference (NATSIEHC25) on the lands of the Whadjuk Noongar people in Perth on 27-29 May 2025. Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander optometrists and optometry students are strongly encouraged to apply.
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.
