Worried about your child’s ears or hearing? 👂🏽

If you’ve noticed signs of ear infections or feel something’s not quite right with your child’s hearing, we’re here to help.

At RivMed, our Ear Health Coordinator can:
✅ Check hearing for children aged 4–6 years
✅ Support follow-ups with GPs for ear infections, including middle ear issues
✅ Provide referrals for children over 6 years to trusted services like Hearing Australia and WWBH Audiology

We’re also proud to offer the HAPEE Ears for Early Years Program, a partnership with Hearing Australia. An Audiologist from the HAPEE team visits RivMed once a month to see children aged 0–6 years.

📞 To book a hearing check or HAPEE appointment, give us a call today.

Early detection matters, hearing is a big part of how kids grow, learn and connect.
