-
increasing the availability of optometry services in areas of identified need;
-
improving the coordination and integration of those eye health services and the quality of ongoing patient care; and
- enhancing communication between visiting optometrists, local health providers and other visiting health professionals.
The intended outcome of the grant opportunity is to improve vision for people living in regional, rural and remote locations of Australia, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
