Closing the gap for vision: regional implementation (2012)

Description

This poster was created for the Victorian Department of Health, Aboriginal Health Conference, 'Aboriginal health - everyone's responsibility', and uses images and bullet points to summarise the translation of Indigenous eye care policy recommendations - from The roadmap to close the gap for vision - into practice, across Victoria. It covers the following areas to propose a plan:

• the evidence base (from the National Indigenous eye health survey: minum barreng)
• consultations informing The roadmap to close the gap for vision
• recommendations from The roadmap to close the gap for vision
• eye care requirements for a regional model
• implimentation process for local action
• regions in Victoria
• projected eye care needs for Victoria
• relevant organisations, practitioners and initiatives.

The poster offers a useful summary for all those working in Australian Indigenous eye health policy and practice, with particular benefit to those in Victoria.
