Luke Carroll Talks about Hapee Ears for Early Years

Give your kids HAPEE ears today!

Today, Hearing Australia is launching a campaign to improve the ear and hearing health of

young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.

Ear disease and hearing loss affects around one in three Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander

kids and can have a major impact on their development and engagement with their family

and community+.

The campaign will raise the awareness of parents and care givers of the importance of

getting their children’s ears and hearing checked regularly, and that they can do this through

Hearing Australia’s national Hearing Assessment Program - Early Ears (HAPEE).

HAPEE is now operational in over 240 locations throughout Australia and funded by a $30

million investment by the Australian Government to reduce the long-term effects of ear

disease in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.
