Our impact reports explore and summarise our impact and key achievements each year.

Our Latest Impact Report

The Shepherd Centre experienced remarkable expansion over the past year. We navigated the new hybrid world of online and in-person staff and therapy services, invested significantly in transforming our IT systems and processes, commenced construction on our new flagship centre in Oran Park, introduced local services to families in Tasmania, went live with our online platform, HearHub, and, most importantly, integrated the services of Hear For You by creating a support pathway from birth through to the teenage years.

In addition to these fantastic achievements, our Early Intervention Program continued to prepare children with hearing loss, and additional conditions, for primary school. We witnessed 91% of children with hearing loss alone enrolling in early intervention services within 6 months of diagnosis to support the development of their listening and communication skills. Our services foster the development of key social cognitive skills in children with hearing loss, as evidenced by the 87% of our graduates starting school with early literacy skills.

These remarkable results were made possible through the tremendous ongoing efforts of our staff and the generosity of our donors. We eagerly anticipate furthering our mission of empowering children with hearing loss and their families to realise their full potential.
