Our vision is for a world in which no person is needlessly blind or visually impaired.
About us
The Fred Hollows Foundation is inspired by the work of the late Professor Fred Hollows (1929-1993). Working in more than 25 countries, our vision is for a world where no one is needlessly blind, and Indigenous Australians enjoy the same health and life expectancy as other Australians. Fred believed local people were best placed to deliver health care to their communities. The Foundation seeks to strengthen and sustain local systems, both internationally and in our Indigenous Australia Program. We bring resources, knowledge and capacity building to partners who contribute their own knowledge, capabilities and resources. We work together to achieve our ambitious goal. Authorised by A. Hill, The Fred Hollows Foundation, Level 9, 320 Pitt Street, Sydney, NSW, 2000

Reflections on the recent inaugural National Day of Allyship held on the lands of the Dharawal people on Australia's east coast, and a call to keep 'showing up'... #StayTrue2Uluru #allies
This is the most incredible movement to be a part of. On International Allyship Day Allies for Uluru and the Woolyungah Indigenous Centre at the University of Wollongong held the inaugural National Allyship Summit. The day brought together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous people from across the country to discuss the path forward for the Uluru Statement from the Heart. It was a day full of solidarity, inspiration and hope. To my colleagues at Allies for Uluru and Woolyungah Indigenous Centre - working with you on this event has been an absolute privilege and a highlight of my career. To all the speakers, and leadership of the The Uluru Statement from the Heart - Uluru Dialogue (Official) - thank you for your generosity in sharing your time, energy and knowledge, and for trusting us to carry your messages forward. Can’t wait for the next one 🤩

The Covid-19 pandemic showed us how fragile eye health systems can be and how it widens existing inequities. We are comitted to helping clear the backlog in cataract surgery and other eye health services that was created during the pandemic, and helping strengthen health systems to build resilience against future shocks. We are working closely with our partners to address these inequities, especially for women and girls, and to secure the necessary funding to meet these critical challenges. Our Director of Strategic Initiatives Amanda Davis wrote more about this with the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB)'s Anthea Burnett for the Community Eye Health Journal at: https://lnkd.in/gTZgNpE7 #eyehealth #Covid19 #equity #strategy

"Establishing trust and building relationships... was crucial to tapping into these communities and improving healthcare outcomes," says Dr Nour Barakat, a senior doctor and Fred Hollows Foundation Fellow. In January 2023, she embarked on a 'medical odyssey' into 28 remote communities of Western Australia, traveling in a specialist mobile ophthalmology van. Dr. Barakat's journey took her to see a wide range of medical conditions and the challenges of language and socioeconomic barriers that need cultural sensitivity and a deep commitment to work through. This is important work made possible through the support of people like you. Thank you. #remote #Australia #eyehealth #fellowship #culture 📷: Cataract surgery at an Eye Intensive Week held at Alice Springs Hospital in 2023.

Allyship is about “making sure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices are always heard,” our Director of Social Justice, Jaki Adams has told Australia’s first National Allyship Summit on International Allyship Day at the University of Wollongong's Woolyungah Indigenous Centre. “You can’t just wear a t-shirt; there has to be action attached to your support," she adds. "Continue to educate yourself too," suggests Professor Bronwyn Fredericks from The University of Queensland.
