Cultural Safety: key to closing the gap in vision loss in Australia

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples are three times more likely to go blind than other Australians. Cultural Safety is an important step to close the gap in vision loss in Australia. Cultural Safety is about creating an environment where an individual’s history is respected and where an identity isn’t denied. Is about recognising a different history that existed before and alongside our own. Is about awareness of the context in which we deliver service to people. The Fred Hollows Foundation is committed to embrace, respect and promote the cultures, rights and perspectives of the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work. Like what you see?
