Our results

We are incredibly proud of our work helping children with hearing loss learn to listen and speak.

The vast majority of children graduating from our world-leading program achieve spoken language at the same level as typical hearing children by the time they are ready for school.

These outcomes have earned The Shepherd Centre an international reputation as a centre of excellence in helping children with hearing loss learn to listen and speak.

Snapshot of our children

Languages spoken

Nearly 40% of children use a language in addition to English. If English is not your first language and you require additional support, we offer interpreter services on request.

Additional needs

One in five children at The Shepherd Centre has diagnosed additional needs that impact on their communication. If your child has  additional needs, we will develop a program tailored to your child’s needs.

Age of diagnosis

The majority of children with hearing loss are diagnosed under the age of 3 months. However, we can tailor a program to your child’s needs at any age of diagnosis.

Bilateral and unilateral

70% of our children have hearing loss in both ears (bilateral) and 30% have hearing loss in one ear (unilateral). We have a special program that caters for unilateral hearing loss.

Age of enrolment

The majority of our children enrol under 12 months. However, we can tailor a program to your child’s needs at any age of diagnosis.

Level of hearing loss (bilateral)

We cater for all levels of hearing loss with a program tailored to the needs of your child.

What do our families say?

The team have just been so supportive and have helped us navigate through this journey with plenty of support and assistance. Without the team, I would honestly not know where my family and I would be right now, and we are just so thankful.
