    Macular Disease Foundation Australia works collaboratively with many individuals, who are expert within their fields. Our expert advisors are volunteers, and we’re grateful for their contribution to our work.

    Expert Advisors

    Our Medical Committee, Research Committee, Audit and Risk Committee and Client Services Committee operate under the Board, each with a Chair and consisting of several Board members.

    All committees have terms of reference approved by the Board and meet quarterly.

    Our Consumer Reference Group meets informally on an ad hoc basis and provides MDFA with opinions from members of our community with lived experience of macular disease.
