Stroke Foundation is proud to partner with Monash University to deliver the Economic Impact of Stroke 2024 Report which provides an evidence-base for why all of us, but particularly key decision-makers, industry, and governments, should care about stroke and do something about it (like making better policy and investments decisions).

The data coming out of this report will help us advocate for change, call for greater funding for and system improvements in stroke prevention, treatment, and enhanced recovery.

It's a game-changing report for our community and will help Stroke Foundation call for urgent and important action to help survivors of stroke, their families and carers.

The numbers are clear: we need action to address stroke and its risk factors, without it the cost of stroke and the numbers of stroke are going to increase.

These aren't just numbers: these are real people, real stories. We talk to people every day about the need for greater support and help navigating the system, and this report backs these conversations up.

The difference we can make by preventing stroke, improving treatment and supporting recovery efforts post stroke, drives us every day at Stroke Foundation. And this report helps us put numbers to the case for change, in addition to the voice of our community.  Releasing this report is the first step. The report will be a living document that will help drive our advocacy efforts and our strategic efforts to prevent stroke, save lives and enhance recovery. We hope it helps the stroke community with the evidence for change as well.
