The Jilpia Nappaljari Jones Memorial Oration celebrates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women to eye care. The Oration was first introduced in the 2022 Conference and acknowledges the significant contribution Jilpia made to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander eye health and her inspiration for a whole generation of amazing women leaders in eye health.

The 2024 Jilpia Nappaljari Jones Memorial Oration will be presented at the 2024 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Eye Health Conference by Emma Robertson.
