Vision and Mission
Vision Australia describes itself as a living partnership between people who are blind, sighted or have low vision, and who are united by the passion that in the future people who are blind or have low vision will have access to and fully participate in every part of life they choose.
Vision Australia aims to achieve this by creating a community partnership of knowledge, skills and expertise to enrich the participation in life of people who are blind or have low vision and their families.

Famous quotes containing the words vision and, vision and/or mission:
“The failure to read good books both enfeebles the vision and strengthens our most fatal tendency—the belief that the here and now is all there is.”
—Allan Bloom (1930–1992)
“The difference between human vision and the image perceived by the faceted eye of an insect may be compared with the difference between a half-tone block made with the very finest screen and the corresponding picture as represented by the very coarse screening used in common newspaper pictorial reproduction. The same comparison holds good between the way Gogol saw things and the way average readers and average writers see things.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Not in vain is Ireland pouring itself all over the earth. Divine Providence has a mission for her children to fulfill; though a mission unrecognized by political economists. There is ever a moral balance preserved in the universe, like the vibrations of the pendulum. The Irish, with their glowing hearts and reverent credulity, are needed in this cold age of intellect and skepticism.”
—Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
