Hearing screening can establish if your child has sufficient hearing for speech and language development or learning in the classroom.

Our clinics screen children and young people aged from 9 months to 16 years. The screening is performed by an allied health assistant under the supervision of an audiologist.

You can book a hearing screening for your child if:

  • you have concerns with:
    • speech and language development
    • pronunciation or speech clarity
    • hearing
    • learning and behaviour
  • you require a screening as part of a developmental or behavioural assessment.

Your child is eligible for a hearing screening if:

  • they are not currently accessing audiology or ear, nose and throat (ENT) services elsewhere.
  • they live within our catchment areas.
  • they have not had a hearing screening within the past 12 months.
