1 in 3 children across the Mid North Coast will start school with hearing loss. Simply accessing regular hearing screenings can avoid this outcome for your child.
Hearing loss significantly affects children's ability to experience early learning success. Let's change that!
-
We have screened over 200 children starting Kindergarten in 2024 through our Empowering Futures School Screening Program.
-
30% of children were identified with hearing loss in one or both ears.
-
The majority of parents reported no concerns with their child's hearing prior to screening.
Our Hearing Screening Process
Why are our Hearing Services Subsidised?
As a Not-For-Profit organisation, Young Minds Thrive access funding opportunities to make our services accessible to as many families as possible. With generous support from the Mary Mackillop Today Organisation, we have been able to offer a 50% subsidy on all child hearing screenings attended in our Macksville Clinic.
Like many Not-For-Profit organisations, we rely on regular funding to enable us to reach as many local families as possible. Our mission is to reduce the high rates of childhood vulnerability in our local children through increased access to health, development and hearing services. All money donated or provided through grants goes directly towards providing comprehensive support to children and their families.
Our subsidy is only available for families who book betwen May and June and use the code CHILDHEARING.
