How we can help
Hearing screening can establish if your child has sufficient hearing for speech and language development or learning in the classroom.
Our free 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.
Check if your child is eligible
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.
