We are a multidisciplinary clinic and assist deaf and hearing-impaired children, teenagers and their families where there are problems associated with the deafness.

We liaise closely with Australian Hearing, The Children's Cochlear Implant Centre, The Department of School Education Hearing Support Services and early education services such as The Shepherd Centre, the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children and St. Gabriel's School for Hearing Impaired Children.

How to make an appointment

Ring the secretary on 9845 2139.

Before seeing the child we prefer to assemble appropriate information such as audiograms, speech pathology reports, etc., so that the appointment is streamlined and families can gain maximum benefit from the first visit.
