Education
Commenced in 2021, the Doctor of Optometry (OD) program at the University of Western Australia is an exciting new postgraduate course designed to meet the growing demand for eyecare in Western Australia.
This course prepares students with the professional attributes and skills required for clinical practice, so they can deliver safe and responsive person-centred care.
EHCWA is the onsite training ground for OD students that allows them to apply their theoretical knowledge in real-world situations, while contributing to our metropolitan and rural communities.
What we do

EHCWA works collaboratively with the Lions Eye Institute and other Australian and international research partners to conduct translational clinical research.
We aim to conduct transformative and impactful research that informs best-practice and contributes to the scientific understanding and clinical care of a broad range of contemporary eyecare issues.
