For over a decade Vanguard Health has been committed to bridging the gap in eye care for Indigenous communities in rural and remote areas through its IRIS program. Funded by the Australian Government, the IRIS program has delivered hundreds of cataract surgeries for remote, rural and indigenous Australians.

Recognising the unique challenges faced by these communities in accessing specialised eye care, this program is designed to bring state-of-the-art eye surgery and treatments directly to them.

Key Features of the IRIS Program:

1. Tailored Solutions: Understanding the diverse needs of Indigenous communities, our services are customised to cater to specific regional challenges and requirements.
2. Expert Care: Our team comprises dedicated eye care professionals who are not only skilled in their field but also trained in cultural sensitivity and community engagement.
3. On-the-Ground Presence: Instead of requiring patients to travel long distances, we establish temporary or permanent facilities in rural and remote areas, ensuring that quality eye care is always within reach.
4. Community Engagement: We believe in building trust and fostering relationships. Our team actively engages with community leaders and members to ensure our services align with their needs and expectations.
5. Continuous Education: Beyond providing surgeries and treatments, we are dedicated to educating communities about eye health, preventive measures, and the importance of regular check-ups.
