We’re thrilled to share that Australian Chinese Charity Foundation Inc. 澳洲華人公益金 & Community Bank Lindfield are supporting our project, Harmonising Futures, an inclusive, evidence-based early intervention group program at NextSense Macquarie for children aged 1–6 with hearing or vision loss.

Through the simple joy of music, this program helps children build essential communication, listening, movement & social skills, while also strengthening the emotional connection between children & their families 🎵

Over the next year, at least 28 children will benefit, including around 20 who are deaf or hard of hearing & 8 who are blind or have low vision.

We’re incredibly grateful to the Australian Chinese Charity Foundation & Community Bank Lindfield for helping reduce barriers to participation, empower parents & foster a sense of inclusion & belonging for families who often face extra challenges.

Together, we’re creating brighter futures, one musical moment at a time 💛

NextSense recently welcomed six journalists from Indonesia who were in Australia to learn more about our research, innovation & community impact.

The group explored our Cochlear Implant program & the early intervention & support services we provide. They also met 18-month-old Kaia & her mum, Zara, who shared how NextSense is helping Kaia thrive.

NextSense Institute Director, Greg Leigh, outlined Australia’s Universal Newborn Hearing Screening program, which he helped pioneer, now reaching more than 97% of newborns & improving outcomes for children who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Thank you to Cochlear Australia and New Zealand & Australian Embassy - Jakarta, Indonesia for supporting the visit & touring our Centre of Innovation 💛
