Acknowledgement of Country
Parramatta Eye Centre acknowledges the traditional custodians of country throughout Australia, and their continuing connection to land, sea, culture and community.
We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past and present, their people, their beliefs and their cultures, on whose land we provide a health service.
We are committed to delivering quality health services, cultural support and advice for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients.
