We understand that a hearing loss diagnosis is often unexpected. Children with hearing loss can have a bright future and reach their maximum potential, achieve their dreams and partipate fully in a hearing world if they get the right specialist support as early as possible.

  • Focus on your everyday life
  • Put an integrated team around your child
  • Are evidence-based and outcomes focussed
  • Have specialised knowledge and skills with children with hearing loss
  • Have qualifications to optimise your child and family wellbeing
  • Have a protocol to track your child’s development
  • Provide support from other families of children with hearing loss
