Less than 2% of National Health and Medical Research (NHMRC) funding in 2025 went towards stroke research.
Since 2008, Stroke Foundation has awarded over $7.1 million in Research Grants to 233 researchers.
That's more then 45,000 strokes this year. With current trends, it is estimated that the number of stroke events in Australia could increase to around 72,000 by 2050.
Debra's life was saved by a procedure that had only recently become available.
As a nurse Debra's husband recognised his wife experiencing a stroke and called an ambulance. Scans in hospital confirmed his fears and doctors told them Debra urgently needed a procedure called an endovascular clot retrieval.
This new procedure only existed that night because of years of dedicated research.
I am living proof that research saves lives.”
Debra, Survivor of Stroke.
Breakthroughs like endovascular clot retrieval are saving lives right now.
But stroke doesn't stand still.
Despite the incredible advances in stroke research over the last decade, there are still gaps in our understanding and mysteries waiting to be unravelled.
Researchers are working on the next breakthrough that could give another survivor of stroke their own version of Debra's story.
But they need you behind them. The most important breakthroughs are still to come.
Please give a tax deductible donation today and help fund the discovery that saves the life of someone you love.
