About the organisation

The Stroke Foundation is a national charity that partners with the community to prevent stroke, save lives and enhance recovery. We stand alongside stroke survivors and their families, healthcare professionals and researchers. We build community awareness and foster new thinking. We support survivors on their journey to live the best possible life after stroke.

Stroke is one of Australia’s biggest killers and a leading cause of disability, yet it can be prevented, and it can be treated. In 2023, it is estimated 45,785 stroke events occurred in Australia (one stroke every 11 minutes), including 34,793 first-ever stroke. There are more than 445,000 survivors of stroke living in our community. Stroke attacks the brain, the human control centre, changing lives in an instant. It can impact anyone at any time.

Our vision is fewer strokes, better outcomes, support and care for all. We rely on the generosity of the community to undertake our work. Our values of Courage, Excellence, Compassion, Integrity and Leadership guide us in our work and are central to our culture, as is our commitment to the community we serve.
