Hearing Australia has a useful free e-book called Choices. It has information for parents and families of children who are newly diagnosed with hearing loss from birth to 12 years of age.

If you have hearing loss you may be able to access hearing supports and aids through the Hearing Services Program. There is also a special program called the NDIS Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI) program for children aged 0–6 years who have just been diagnosed with a hearing problem.

If you have a long-term disability and are living at home in the community, you may be able to access funding through CAEP to assist with the cost of equipment and home modifications.
