The Fred Hollows Foundation

The Fred Hollows Foundation is inspired by the work of the late Professor Fred Hollows (1929-1993). Working in around 22 countries, 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. The Foundation is determined to be a key global player in ending avoidable blindness by 2020. In 2017, The Fred Hollows Foundation supported more eye operations and treatments and trained more surgeons, nurses and health workers than ever before.

The Foundation seeks to strengthen and sustain local systems, both internationally and in our Indigenous Program.
