The Shepherd Centre empowers children and young people who are deaf or have hearing loss to develop spoken language, listening and social skills.
The Shepherd Centre is a not-for-profit providing specialised programs for children with hearing loss and their families. Our programs meet the needs of children of all ages; from our world-leading early intervention system for babies and toddlers, through to our mentoring program, Hear for You, which supports school-aged children and teenagers.
We have been enabling children with hearing loss to develop their listening and spoken language, literacy, and social skills for over 50 years, ensuring they can go on to achieve their full potential in life. We currently support over 900 families all over Australia with Online Telehealth for rural and regional areas and seven in-person centres in NSW, TAS and the ACT.
Our global platform HearHub supports health professionals working with children with hearing loss all over the world.
Empower voice. Amplify Possibility.
We believe that every child should have a voice in this world: a voice in their language, in their community and in their future. Through our work, we have seen children achieve things they never though possible.
We empower generations of children with hearing loss to listen, speak and have a voice.
We were the first listening and spoken language program in Australia and have supported thousands of children and families.
