There’s so much left to do.
NextSense has been redefining what’s possible for people who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind or have low vision, for more than 160 years. We’ve achieved so much.
With your gift, we can use our innovative approaches and research-based techniques to change the way all children with hearing and vision loss access education. We can grow our world-leading cochlear implant program to give the gift of sound to more children and adults who are born deaf, or who lose their hearing over time. We can offer more life-changing therapy to support people right throughout their lives.
Leaving a gift in your Will can help children and adults with hearing and vision loss live their lives to the fullest.
Even a 1% gift in your Will can create a world of possibility for children with hearing or vision loss.
Committees
There are many people who volunteer and support the work of NextSense through involvement in various clubs and committees.
Corporate partnerships
Become a NextSense corporate partner today and make a real difference in the lives of adults and children with hearing and vision loss.
Adopt NextSense as your organisation’s charity of choice, make tax-effective donations, give through your payroll system or partner with us to provide life-changing initiatives in your name.
Your financial support will help families across Australia to access vital hearing and vision services and support the people, research, and technology that make it all possible.
Grant funding
Grants enable NextSense to pilot new services, undertake visionary projects, establish programs in new locations, and refurbish centres to accommodate the latest clinical and educational technology.
A three-year grant received from the Profield Foundation Trust will fund NextSense Cochlear Implant Services outreach program in Dubbo, Orange, Tamworth, and Wagga Wagga. The program will help address the issue of hearing health in regional communities where hearing loss is present at much higher rates than the general population, yet often under-reported. This is due to the social stigma associated with deafness and the perceived need to be away from the farm for extended periods while undergoing testing, treatment, and rehabilitation.
Become a volunteer
Volunteers are integral to the work we do, making a difference in the lives of our clients. Join a team of more than 250 volunteers and help support services across our centres.
