About Vision Australia
For more than 150 years, Vision Australia has supporting people who are blind or have low vision.
Our purpose
To enable people who are blind or have low vision to live without limits.
Our vision
An inclusive Australia that unlocks possibility, where people who are blind or have low vision live with confidence, connection and independence.
How we have impact
Vision Australia is an impact led organisation. The decisions, investments and partnerships we make are all informed by the impact they have for our clients and the wider blind and low vision community.
We focus our efforts on creating change for people who are blind or have low vision across our three impact principles.
By connecting everything we do to these principals, we’re able to measure the impact we have and illustrate the importance of our work.
Impact principles
Independence
People who are blind or have low vision have the skills, supports and choices to manage daily life, move safely, access information, and live as independently as they choose.
Confidence
People who are blind or have low vision have the capability, self belief and emotional wellbeing to navigate change, make decisions, and participate fully in their life.
Connection
People who are blind or have low vision experience meaningful connection and belonging in their local community, relationships, work and society, with barriers reduced through inclusion, opportunities and partnerships.
