An innovative, centralised hub

Northern Territory

Educators will have access to virtual training based on the latest research and knowledge, to further integrate children with sensory disability into the classroom so they learn alongside their peers.

Our new centre will serve as a central hub for the work of NextSense—hearing and vision services, education, research, professional training, and advocacy—that will change the future of people with sensory disability Australia-wide.

Tasmania

Older adults will be able to access cochlear implant services and hear their grandchildren laughing in the back garden.

Far North Queensland

Children will receive virtual training with their physical braille textbooks, removing barriers that previously existed.

NextSense centre at Macquarie University

Sydney, NSW

With a physical location at the heart, the centre will allow for exponential reach of our services, beyond our more than 20 physical locations Australia-wide.

These are just a few examples of what the new centre at Macquarie University will make possible, when the right people, programs and organisations are brought together to share knowledge with exponential reach.

When it came to my exams, my NextSense vision teacher Pam made sure I had access to the right supports. Small things like exam paper colour, using beige instead of white, for example, can make a big difference—it was much easier for me to see...

Beyond the study support, Pam was a great emotional support—helping me get back on track and focus on my goals.”
