ACE Foundation - Free Glasses Program

We are pleased to let families know that the ACE Foundation provides eligible students with access to one free pair of prescription glasses during primary and one during secondary school.

How to access the program

ACE Foundation consent/voucher forms are available from our school administration office.

Parents/Guardians will need to:

Collect and complete the ACE Foundation consent/voucher form.
Return the completed form to the school so it can be stamped by the school.
Contact one of the participating optometry centres listed on the form to make an appointment for a bulk-billed comprehensive eye examination.
Take the completed and school-stamped form to the optometrist.

If your child requires glasses following their eye examination, they can choose a pair from the eligible range, with the cost covered by the ACE Foundation.

There is no cost to families.

Please note that the optometrist cannot accept the form without the school stamp, so it is important to return the completed form to our school office before attending the appointment.
