Why work for us?

Be a part of making change

At The Fred Hollows Foundation, we’re working towards ending avoidable blindness and improving the eye health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. We’re inspired by the work and life of our founder, Professor Fred Hollows, and his mission for everyone to exercise their right to quality and easily accessible eye care.

The Foundation’s human rights based
approach and unwavering support in
addressing inequality in health, through
an eye health lens, inspires me every day.

We’re a development organisation, working across the world and here at home, focusing on creating sustainable change and ending avoidable blindness. We primarily work on eye diseases like cataract, trachoma and diabetic retinopathy, making sure prevention, screening and treatment is more readily accessible in remote and underserved areas. We work with governments to better implement eye health systems and train local doctors, nurses and health workers to help their communities.

Being a national staff member in Cambodia, I witness
the smiles of people in our community who have
had their sight restored or improved by the work
of The Foundation, and that makes me so proud.
