Our organisation

Aussie Deaf Kids aims to empower parents raising a child with hearing loss through online support, information and advocacy.

Aussie Deaf Kids is committed to improving the outcomes for deaf children by:

Providing online parent-to-parent support on a variety of platforms. The support needs to be empathic, informative and supportive of the choices families make.
Providing an independent information resource for families raising a deaf child in Australia through our website www.aussiedeafkids.org.au. The guiding principle is an intuitive website that provides comprehensive yet parent-friendly information from birth to the post-school period. The information should be relevant, meaningful and evidence-based to assist parents to make informed choices about raising their deaf child.
Advocating for the rights of deaf and hard of hearing children and their families to receive the services and support they need to achieve their potential.
Collaborating with parents, consumer organisations, service providers and academics to improve services and support for families.
