Since October 2023, we have been running an outreach eye clinic at Nunkuwarrin Yunti, in collaboration with Flinders University every second and last Tuesday of the month. We have two final year optometry students attend each clinic, with them running the consults under a supervisor's guidance.
Nunkuwarrin Yunti is an Indigenous Community Controlled Organisation on Wakefield Street. It provides a diverse range of health service providers, such as doctors, nurses, dentists, podiatrists, optometrists and many more, accessible for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Our outreach clinic provides quality patient-centred eye care for people within this community as well as providing the opportunity for clinical education for students.
