Throughout July and August, Parliament House in Canberra will host a collection of recent and archival photography featuring the work of late Australian eye surgeon, Professor Fred Hollows - as well as the continuing work of The Fred Hollows Foundation.

The exhibition will include some of the final photographs taken by Michael Amendolia of Fred Hollows working in the field, not long before his death in 1993.

Other photographs from Brendan Esposito, Sandy Scheltema and Hanh Tran capture the inspiring stories of patients who have benefitted from The Foundation's continuing work.

The exhibition will be displayed in The Presiding Officers' Exhibition Area in Parliament House from the 2nd of July and will be open to the general public until the 19th of August.
