Did you know?

Every child deserves to reach their full potential, and you can help us change this.

 

The Shepherd Centre implements a world leading integrated approach to giving children the best access to sound and speech. We are here to support children with hearing loss as well as the families who depend on our support. 

 

Our qualified clinical team of audiologists, language specialists and child family counsellors work with children who are deaf and their families to organise hearing tests, device fittings, and therapy sessions to ensure all children get the best outcome. All donations over $2 are tax deductible and go towards helping give children who are deaf access to sound.p.
