This page contains a PDF document and contact details relating to the Review of the Implementation of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Eye Health Program

In this section:

The 2003 Review of the Implementation of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Eye Health Program arose from recommendations Professor Taylor made in his review of eye health in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. His report recommended, among other things, a model of service delivery that is based on a regional coordination of services using a mixture of public and private sector funding and resources. This was to replace the remaining elements of the National Trachoma and Eye Health Program (NTEHP). In response, the Commonwealth implemented a NATSIEHP with three strands: regional eye health services coordination; access to specialised equipment; and training assistance.
