Advocate with us
Advocacy can be performed in many ways, from contacting local MPs, reposting Stroke Foundation messages on social media, to simply sharing stroke statistics and facts with friends and family, and beyond!
The intention is to ensure as many Australians as possible understand the risks of stroke they can modify, and what to do in the event a stroke occurs.
Who can advocate?
Anyone! Survivors of stroke, family members, partners, sons, daughters, as well as those who are simply passionate about making a difference.
We would love to collaborate with all that are enthusiastic about spreading stroke messaging to their community.
Share your story with us to start advocating.
