About NATSIEHC26

NATSIEHC26 was held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Naarm (Melbourne) on 11–13 May 2026, under the theme Seeing Our Way: Innovation, Excellence and Healing. The conference marked the 10th anniversary of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Eye Health Conferences.

NATSIEHC26 celebrated Australia's formal WHO validation for eliminating trachoma as a public health problem — a milestone decades in the making, achieved through sustained Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community leadership, clinical excellence and coordinated national action.

The NATSIEHC26 Report is available to download from the FNEHA website.
