Project: Aboriginal Vision Northern Territory |
| The purpose of this project is not only to increase accessible eye care services to remote and isolated Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory, but also to provide them in a culturally appropriate way. The ICEE Vision Aboriginal programme has been running in the Northern Territory since November 2006, and is continuing to expand. > read more |

Project: National Eye Health Initiative Grant – Northern Territory |
| Due to geographical, financial and other barriers, a large proportion of the Aboriginal population within the Northern Territory receives little, if any, regular eye care. The NT has a population of around 205,900 and, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 29% of the population, or approximately 60,000 people are Aboriginal. Much of the population is also located in rural and remote areas, without permanent access to eye care. > read more |

Project: National Eye Health Initiative Grant – Grant 2 Resources |
At 30 June 2006, the Indigenous Australian population was estimated at 517,200 or 2.5% of the total population. Approximately 24% of Indigenous Australians live in remote and very remote areas. 81% of Indigenous people counted in the Northern Territory lived in remote or very remote areas. The focus of this project is to increase access to image based resources for patients in remote communities across Australia. > read more |

Project: Cambodia |
| Cambodia is a country of spectacular landscapes and a busy, vibrant culture. Its twenty provinces, when combined are slightly larger in size than the Australian island state of Tasmania. Unfortunately, it only has 24 optometrists serving its population of 14 million. > read more |

Project: Mongolia |
| In the world’s most sparsely populated country, the landscape and climate are unforgiving - distances to reach eye care services, when they exist, are made even greater due to poor transportation on inadequate, weather-dependent roads. It’s not surprising then that most Mongolians have never had an eye examination. > read more |

Project: Sri Lanka |

While providing basic eye care and conducting training, it became clear to ICEE personnel that most Sri Lankans had never had an eye examination and that the cost of spectacles was beyond the means of most people. > read more |

The geographical spread of this island nation presents quite a challenge in building sustainable eye care services, partly because of the spread of people across lightly populated islands, but also because of limited established health care infrastructure and resources. > read more |
