At the #NACCHOConference22 cancer workshop it was highlighted the fact that cancer rates are decreasing among most Australians but not for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people

Today is World Sight Day.
Over one third of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have never had an eye exam.
To protect our eyes and our deadly vision in the future, NACCHO encourages everyone to go out and get an eye exam and keep those healthy eyes!!
