Have you been thinking about volunteering your skills and making a real difference to the lives of people who need a helping hand?  Volunteer work can provide you with diversity and new skills as well as great satisfaction from sharing and encouraging others and knowing you're making a difference.

CICADA Australia Inc. is a completely independent non-profit support organisation staffed by volunteers. Our aim is to help hearing impaired Australians achieve the optimum, tailor-made solution to improve their hearing.

Our plans are big - they need to be. There is no one organisation, no one place, no one website, where a hearing impaired Australian can go to get all the information about the different options available to improve hearing. There is plenty of information out there if you have hours and hours, a lot of patience and the skill to sleuth it down.

We aim to change that. To be the place any hearing impaired Australian can turn to for unbiased, independent information on all their options to find a solution that is right for them - no hidden agendas.

Our plans are big - and we need help!

We'd LOVE to hear from you if you can help - in any way - big or small.  Please email us by clicking here.

Or if you'd like to help but aren't able to give your time we'd be very grateful for any financial donation you can offer and as a registered charity all donations over $2 are tax deductible.

Who we help

CICADA Australia Inc. aims to help as many hearing impaired Australians as possible.

We are an organisation of people who've experienced the frustration and difficulty of collecting all the information on the wide range of options to try to work out what is best for us. And sometimes we've taken decisions only to find later other options were open to us.

So we've decided to bring all the information about the various options to help your hearing to one place, and because our members range from people with hearing aids through to implanted devices we are able to provide first hand knowledge of the experience.

No-one can explain better what it is like to be deaf or hearing impaired and how a technology has worked than a person who has experienced it.

While doctors and audiologists can tell you the procedures involved and what results may be achieved, they cannot add the dimension of personal experience. Furthermore, CICADA Australia Inc. members have experienced severe or total hearing loss and its impact on families and friends – an issue not readily understood by those unaffected or by the general community.

This sensitivity of people familiar with deafness and its everyday impacts, and with technologies that have improved their hearing, makes them well suited to provide support, advice and companionship.

It is quite different and complementary to what audiologist, clinicians and surgeons can provide. Our members have found it valuable to meet with people (and their families) who've experienced the technology or been through the procedure they're considering.

Join us today and let us support you into the future.
