Summary of proposals:

chronic kidney disease) in primary care.
2. Increasing the number of Australians eligible to receive
time-critical stroke treatment.
Funding for the FAST stroke signs awareness campaign to build
on the success of the 2014 campaign.
3. Delivering world-best standard stroke care to all
Australians.
Invest in a new national online resource to support stroke
clinicians to improve their adherence to Australian Government
approved best-practice guidelines for stroke.
The best stroke care does not exist!!!
Only 10% get to full recovery.
tPA has a 88% failure rate of reversing the stroke
No protocols to prevent your 33% chance of getting dementia post-stroke

4. Providing care and support that stroke survivors needto adjust to life after stroke.
Fund the national rollout of the StrokeConnect follow up

well as ensuring wide availability of information and education
resources to help ongoing recovery efforts.
5. Research to develop the best ways to aid rehabilitation
efforts and ensure adequate emotional and psychological
support.

Network and a dedicated stroke research fund with remit to
focus on agreed stroke priorities.
