For 25 years, Macular Disease Foundation Australia (MDFA) has been the national peak body representing the interests of the estimated 1.9 million Australians who live with a macular disease.
As the representative voice, MDFA influences Australian health, aged care, and disability agendas, to improve outcomes for patients, their families, and carers.
The Foundation provides evidence-based leadership to reduce the impact of macular disease through four key pillars of work:
Community awareness and early detection. National awareness/engagement campaigns and working in partnership with eye health professionals to promote regular eye screening. Support for living with macular disease. Free evidence-based information and resources, a National Helpline, and other practical service interventions. Advocacy. For initiatives that reduce the impact of macular disease and improve the quality of life and independence of the MDFA community. Research. For a future to prevent and cure macular disease.
Refer your patients with macular disease to MDFA for education and support.
