The Shepherd Centre

Over the past 50 years, The Shepherd Centre has helped over 2000 children who are deaf or hearing impaired, helping them learn to listen and speak. Starting in 1970 with one centre and just five families, today The Shepherd Centre has 7 centres and supports more than 900 children across Australia face-to-face and via telehealth.

Over 90% of children who graduate from our world-leading program achieve the same level of spoken language as their hearing peers by the time they are ready for school. We rely greatly on the generosity of our supporters to deliver our services.

Leaving a gift in your Will is one of the most generous ways you can support children with hearing loss by giving them the ultimate gifts of sound and speech.  A gift in the Will is a specific instruction to reserve part of your estate – such as possessions, shares or money – for a chosen beneficiary. You can specify an amount, a percentage, or the residue of your estate.

No matter how big or small, your gift will ensure that The Shepherd Centre can continue to exist and expand, and future generations of children will receive life-changing early intervention programs and services. You can help to open up a world of choice, empowering children with hearing loss to listen, speak and have a voice.
