Health Minister Daniel Andrews with Professor Stephen O'Leary observing audiologist Dominic Power examine Stormy Glasby ear.

Health Minister Daniel Andrews visited a screening session to identify hearing problems among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children at Thornbury Primary School.

Mr Andrews was there to celebrate the partnership between The Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, Victorian Aboriginal Health Service, Darebin Best Start, and the Northern Metropolitan Region Primary School Nursing Program.

“Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are more prone to ear conditions, which can have a negative impact on their health, language development, education and social interactions,” he said.

“If these problems continue to go unrecognised this can result in learning difficulties at school and have a significant impact in later life.”

A grandmother and small business owner, Sarah first knew something was wrong when she could no longer read bedtime stories to her grandchildren. She was diagnosed with AMD – age-related macular degeneration, a progressive disease that reduces central vision and affects the ability to see both distance and close up.

Sarah is part of a clinical trial being run at the Eye and Ear by retinal specialist Professor Robyn Guymer, as part of a large multi-centred international clinical trial looking at new treatments for AMD.

“Words can’t describe my gratitude to the staff at the Eye and Ear. They provide life-changing treatments, backed up by world-class research.”

With your help, we can raise the extra funds needed to produce the most advanced treatments for vision and hearing loss. By sharing knowledge and expertise throughout the community, the Eye and Ear helps make world quality eye and ear health available to all.
