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.
 |
| Who we are |
 |
|
|
We are an international development organisation, focussing on blindness prevention and Australian Indigenous health. We are independent, non-profit, politically unaligned and secular.
|
|
|
 |
| Our Inspiration |
|
|
|
We carry on the work of the late Professor Fred Hollows (1929-1993). Fred was an eye doctor, a skilled surgeon of international renown, a champion of the right of all people to good health and a strong advocate for social justice.

| Our Achievements |
|
|
|
In 2006, we carried out an amazing 73,838 cataract operations and other sight saving interventions and examined over one million people, providing essential eye care to some of the world's poorest regions.

 |
| Our Partners & Supporters |
|
|
|
Many people have continued to help keep Fred's dreams alive. We are very lucky to have so many sponsors and supporters involved in the work of The Foundation.

Since the beginning we have been very fortunate to have our Founding Director Gabi Hollows, management team and Board of Directors working tirelessly for us. Also read our Annual Reports and Strategic Framework.

 |
| Our Global Network |

In late 2006, The Foundation in Australia joined sister Foundations in New Zealand and the United Kingdom to establish The Fred Hollows Foundation International, a new global network to enhance Foundation operations around the world.
