The Australian Stroke Coalition was established by the National Stroke Foundation and Stroke Society of Australasia on 11 July, 2008. The Coalition brings together representatives from groups and organisations working in the stroke field, such as clinical networks and professional associations/colleges. This group will work together to tackle agreed priorities to improve stroke care, reduce duplication amongst groups and strengthen the voice for stroke care at a national and state level.
Our AimsProvide a critical communication link between relevant organisations and their members regarding stroke care in Australia. - Develop a set of priorities for stroke care based on gaps identified in the national audit and other health data sources.
- Determine a coordinated strategy by which to improve these priority areas.
- Link ongoing and new initiatives at a state and national level which improve stroke services and set priorities and tasks that can be locally adapted.
