We support Australians who have hearing or vision impairment, and the people who support them
How can we support you?
Hearing & Vision Services
We offer a broad range of specialist services and therapies for children and adults, and flexible support options.
Each year, more than 8,000 people benefit from our hearing and vision services. We also provide screening for over 3,000 children and around 400 cochlear implant surgeries each year.
Supporting RIDBC
We're a charity and rely on your support to continue helping children and adults who have hearing or vision impairment.
Government, NDIS and private funding helps, but your generosity ensures each child, adult and family get the support they need.
