Mission

Supporting families who have children with speech and hearing needs.

Vision

To be a world class provider of programs and services for families who have children with speech and hearing needs.

Our Belief

We believe children with speech or hearing impairments can participate independently in our society if they acquire good spoken language.

Our Values

 

At Telethon Speech & Hearing we:

  • Nurture relationships 
  • Collaborate to improve 
  • Are accountable for our actions

These values enable us to build upon the historical roots of our organisation which are grounded in high parental involvement;   innovation and technology, and highly skilled staff who partner with parents to promote spoken language in the home and community.

These values are the "way we do things" at Telethon Speech & Hearing. The values are deliberately listed in rank order. Nurturing relationships is pivotal to enabling greater collaboration and collaboration enables mutual accountability for results.

Spending time with families, staff and stakeholders enables us to build relationships based on mutual trust and the ability to see the world from another viewpoint.  Strong relationships provide the platform for staff, families and stakeholders to work collaboratively together to grow, enquire and learn.
