About the Campaign: Strike Out Stroke® is a not for profit campaign based in Kew which aims to educate the Australian community on the signs and symptoms of stroke. This is being done by volunteers, all with skilled professional backgrounds.

In collaboration with Softball Australia, we have developed an exciting national primary school program which, in a fun way, using the game of softball or T-ball, will educate the children about the signs and symptoms of stroke. Then as Stroke Ambassadors, they will be encouraged to further educate their family and friends through an online Stroke Quiz to be done at home. It is hoped that through this initiative, Strike Out Stroke will be able to make direct contact with more than 750,000 Australians each year!
