    Assisting you as a health professional

    Working together to improve health literacy and your patient outcomes.

    Macular Disease Foundation Australia aims to work collaboratively with health professionals to improve health literacy around macular disease.

    We share a common interest with you, in encouraging patients to take early action to save sight.

    Our objective is to build a ‘go to’ macular disease hub for health practitioners who have an interest in the macula and are keen to learn about the latest developments in macular research, resources and services available to support patients.

    We encourage health professionals to refer your macular disease patients to MDFA at the earliest opportunity for expert, independent and free advice, and support.

    By referring any patient at risk of or living with macular disease to the MDFA, as part of an integrated care model, you are ensuring patients will be better supported to improve their understanding of their condition, minimise risk factors for progression and live optimally.

    You can refer a patient to Macular Disease Foundation Australia at any stage of their macular disease journey – the earlier the better. We’ll help you support them with free information and non-clinical wellbeing support.
