Working collaboratively for better eye health outcomes

As an organisation we work collaboratively with a range of health care professions and regularly hold meetings with medical, pharmacy and paramedical organisations.

If you are an ophthalmologist, orthoptist, GP, pharmacist, allied health practitioner or aged-care professional, the information and resources in this section highlight how optometrists can work with you to provide the best quality care to your patients.
