Our Partners
FNEHA's national work is strengthened by partnerships grounded in mutual respect, shared values and a collective commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leadership and equitable eye health outcomes.
Partnership for equitable eye health
FNEHA builds partnerships with organisations that share our commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leadership, community control, self-determination and health equity. Our partnerships are grounded in mutual respect, shared values and collective responsibility — working together to achieve sustainable, equitable outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
What we bring to every partnership
Cultural safety
We expect and model culturally safe ways of working in all our partnerships.
Shared accountability
We work toward shared outcomes and hold ourselves and our partners accountable to the communities we serve.
Sustainable outcomes
We seek partnerships that build lasting capacity and systemic change, not short-term activity.
Strengthening First Nations leadership
Every partnership should strengthen Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leadership, voice and community control.
