Quadrant Energy and Santos To Support Lions Outback Vision Outreach Eye Health Program
Quadrant Energy and Santos, Joint Venture Partners in the Devil Creek Gas Plant are supporting Lions Outback Vision to provide eye health training, education and capacity building for local health workers in the Pilbara region. The intent is to work seamlessly with primary health workers, Aboriginal Liaison Officers, Aboriginal Medical Services, general practitioners and other health workers during scheduled outreach visits. The program will maximise collaboration, training and shared knowledge to ensure the best possible eye health outcomes for Pilbara communities.
Lions Outback Vision, a division of Lions Eye Institute, offers services to meet increasing demand from regional and remote health professionals for specialist support for diagnosis and treatment recommendations for eye health issues.
McCusker Director, Dr Angus Turner said, “These community champions for eye health are the core of the Lions Outback Vision model of care. A constant need for improved education, awareness and capacity building of health workers is required to address health issues such as diabetic management where early intervention, education and regular monitoring can reduce the incidence of vision related impacts.”
David Parker, Quadrant Energy Director Government & Public Affairs is “pleased that the Devil Creek Gas Plant joint venture partners are able to contribute to local community eye health improvement in the Pilbara.”
