Sydney Rotary is proud to continue to support Vision Beyond AUS and encourages all our members and friends of the club to support this years Fiducian & Vision Beyond AUS 2025 Annual Charity Golf Day & Dinner. Register here.
Roslyn McLeod, the President of The Rotary Club of Sydney in 2011, asked Indy Singh, Executive Chairman of the Fiducian Group, to find a project that would build “international bridges of friendship”. Indy knew of the work of two Australian eye surgeons, Dr Jay Chandra and Dr Purnima Roy, in the small town of Rishikesh, in Northern India. They had travelled there, with a team of volunteers to conduct free eye surgery clinics for the desperately poor of the area. Indy decided that if this work could be organised and coordinated properly, it would satisfy the criteria to be a worthwhile and valuable international Rotary project. With Indy and his company Fiducian assisting in fund raising, and support from the Rotary Club of Sydney, Vision Beyond AUS was formed in 2011 with the aim of supporting the Rishikesh project.
In 2012, Indy established Vision Beyond AUS as a registered Australian Charity, with the objectives of “relieving sickness and distress through the provision of medical assistance and by undertaking relief and sustainable development programs for people in Declared Developing Countries without favouritism or discrimination by race, religion, culture or political persuasion”.
The 2025 Fiducian Charity Golf Day & Dinner at the Oatlands Golf Club is fast approaching and we would like you to join us in raising much needed funds for Vision Beyond AUS, as they strive to reach their target of restoring eyesight to 100,000 people in developing countries.

About Vision Beyond AUS
From a humble beginning in December 2011 when we completed eye surgeries for 180 suffering people in Rishikesh, India. Vision Beyond AUS (VBA) has now completed over 48,000 eye surgeries for men, women and children who live in miserable poverty in India, Myanmar, Ethopia, Nepal and Cambodia. These people had no hope of seeing again or living a normal life in its most basic form, without the help provided by Vision Beyond AUS.
Thank you to all of you for your continued support and being a part of this amazing effort. Help us reach our stated goal of 100,000 free eye surgeries for men, women and children.
