Did you know more than 300,000 Australians are thought to have glaucoma, but only 50% have been diagnosed?
This World Glaucoma Week, make sure you're up to date with your eye health check. Symptoms are often 'silent' during the early stages of the disease and the development of peripheral vision loss can often go unnoticed in day-to-day life. Early detection is key!

We know that for a child to perform at their best, their eyes need to as well. That's why an examination at the beginning of a school year is important to ensure their vision is developing as it should. With vision responsible for 80% of learning it's crucial that their vision is up to to the task of the year ahead.
Our vision changes throughout our lives, particularly as we hit our forties. Even a small change in vision, uncorrected, can make everyday tasks frustrating. Feel like your eyes are working overtime? We can help you find an eyewear solution so you can see more clearly and comfortably.
We’ve teamed up with MADALAH, a not for profit organization that provides scholarships for Indigenous students from remote and regional communities. MADALAH also supports the development of a pool of positive role models and future leaders who will inspire others and illustrate the successes that can be achieved through education.
To help welcome the Year 7 scholarship recipients to their new school, we’re aiming to create 50 boarder welcome packs. The packs will contain home essentials to help the students settle into boarding life and will be presented to the students in March at their Year 7 orientation camp.
We are collecting donations of the following new, unopened items until the end of February:
- Deodorant
- Toothpaste
- Toothbrush
- Mouthwash
- Body Wash
- Face Wash
- Shampoo
- Conditioner
- Razor
- Shaving Cream
- Sunscreen
- Hand Sanitizer
- Moisturizer
- Laundry Powder
