The Stroke Foundation is a national not-for-profit organisation that works with stroke survivors, carers, health professionals, government and the public to reduce the impact of stroke on the Australian community.  Our mission is to prevent stroke, save lives and enhance recovery. We are the voice of stroke in Australia.

Our Values of Courage, Excellence, Compassion, Integrity and Leadership are an integral part of our culture, brand and positioning, and inform our decisions and behaviours in our dealings internally within the organisation, and externally with our stakeholders.

About the program

The profile and reputation program aims to raise the profile of the Stroke Foundation to increase support for our activities across the Australian community.  A major component of this program is to develop and build partnerships with individuals and organisations nationally to build participation in Stroke Foundation programs.

A key component is stroke prevention and awareness activities. StrokeSafe presentations are offered free of charge across Australia to increase community awareness of what stroke is, how to reduce stroke risk, how to recognise the signs of stroke (using the FAST test) and what services are provided by the Stroke Foundation. StrokeSafe presentations are conducted by professionally trained volunteer speakers.
