RANZCO, in partnership with The Fred Hollows Foundation, recognises that we need practical steps towards reconciliation and closing the gap in eye health. This joint statement calls on the eye health sector to prioritise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander eye health in practical ways such as bulk-billing, patient-centred approaches to care and equity of access to essential eye surgery. As the Australian health care system responds to the COVID-19 pandemic, we all have a role to play in shaping the health care system for the better.
