Our Story
The Audiology Clinic at Westmead Hospital has been a pillar of support for the Western Sydney community for over 20 years, providing life-changing hearing and balance function testing to people as young as 16 years old.
Every month, our dedicated team sees an average of 50 patients a month, helping them navigate the challenges of hearing loss and balance disorders.
With your support, we can expand our reach to more than just 50, enhance our technology, and improve the quality of care for those who rely on us. Together, we can make a profound difference in the lives of individuals and families affected by hearing and balance issues.
How your donation will help
Lack of funding to replace testing equipment means that we can no longer provide this vital service to our community.
For the dizzy patient that is already suffering from disabling vertigo, this means travelling at least 17 km to the nearest public service to perform testing that will aid diagnosis! Can you imagine being in such a situation?!
Please give generously to help us bring this much needed service back to the community and to keep it going.
