Ear health programs and initiatives

Care for Kids’ Ears helps parents, carers, teachers, teachers’ aides, early childhood workers and health professionals recognise and prevent ear disease in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.

We are implementing several initiatives based on recommendations from the Roadmap for Hearing Health. These will raise awareness of hearing health, build our evidence base, improve ear health among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and improve hearing support among older Australians.
