👁 Eye Health in Regional, Rural, and Remote Australia: A Pilot Study

JCU: James Cook University, Australia, in partnership with the North Queensland Eye Foundation, is conducting research into the barriers and enablers to accessing eye health services in regional, rural, and remote communities.

📣 Have you received or provided eye health services in these areas in the past 3 years?

If so, you’re invited to take part in this important study. Your experiences will help shape future policy and practice to improve how eye health services are delivered across Australia.

📊 This pilot study will help inform a larger research project aiming to improve access to eye care where it’s needed most.
