The National Stroke Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation that works with the public, government, health professionals, patients, carers and stroke survivors to reduce the impact of stroke on the Australian community. 

Our challenge is to save 110,000 Australians from death and disability due to stroke over 10 years.

We will achieve this by:

  • Educating the public about the risk factors and signs of stroke and promoting healthy lifestyles.
  • Working with all stakeholders to develop and implement policy on the prevention and management of stroke.
  • Encouraging the development of comprehensive and coordinated services for all stroke survivors and their families.
  • Encouraging and facilitating stroke research.
