Hearing Australia provides culturally safe services for First Nations children to ensure they can listen, learn and stay connected to community and culture throughout their lives.
Hearing Australia professionals will check their hearing for free if your child is under six years old.
You can book an appointment at your local Aboriginal Medical Service or book online at hearing.com.au/bookings.
The hearing assessment program is an initiative of the Commonwealth Department of Health and Aged Care. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who are not yet attending full-time school are eligible to be seen in the years before primary school.
All services provided under this program are free of charge. A hearing check includes several age-appropriate tests of hearing and middle ear function.
