Details

The Inspirational Australians Series recognises and celebrates individual achievements and commemorates unique Australians who have made an extraordinary contribution to our society.
The third release in this series of $1 coins celebrates the life and work of Fred Hollows who made a lasting impression with his work in healthcare. A skilled ophthalmologist, he migrated from New Zealand in 1965 and immediately set about improving aboriginal health services. Hollows expanded his reach internationally, performing eye surgery in developing countries and teaching local technicians to do the same. His name lives on
in the Fred Hollows Foundation and in the vision of millions worldwide.
