Registrations have opened for the Western Australian Aboriginal Eye Health Forum 2026, which will bring together communities, clinicians, researchers, and policymakers to strengthen culturally safe and sustainable eye health outcomes for Indigenous people in WA.
The one-day forum is designed to help delegates gain a deeper understanding of Aboriginal eye health priorities, challenges, and opportunities, informed by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices and experiences.
Delegates will hear about emerging evidence, innovative approaches, and partnerships that strengthen Aboriginal eye health while learning practical, evidence-based, and community-informed approaches to delivering culturally safe, equitable, and accessible eye health care.
