Stroke CCS Campaign
This communications kit supports the updated Stroke Clinical Care Standard, released on 11 June 2026.
We welcome your support for our Standard by downloading and sharing the content on your website, social networks or within your health service.
You are encouraged to use these resources to raise awareness about the updated Stroke Clinical Care Standard and best practice care for stroke.
Our efforts aim to improve care for all Australians who have a stroke, a leading cause of death and disability in Australia.
The Stroke Clinical Care Standard was developed by the Commission, in partnership with health service organisations, clinicians and consumers and endorsed by 22 professional organisations.
