 Behind the Hear Our Heart Ear Bus Project

Picture
The project began in late 2011 when Dubbo women Rowena Galway and Colleen Bruce joined forces with Donna Rees and Rachel Mills at the Dubbo and District Support Group for the Deaf and Hearing Impaired Inc. (also known as Dubbo Deaf Club) to help improve ear health services for children in Dubbo and Districts.
Most of the members in Dubbo Deaf Club have children with otitis media ear conditions and were very keen to join together and help.
We are a project of Dubbo Deaf Club.  
     
 



​Our Staff:

Based in Dubbo, we have 6 part time paid staff  plus 2 volunteers working regular hours each week.

​Volunteer Dubbo Committee

Our role is to fundraise, apply for grants and support where needed, the testing/education part of the program.

Often our time is taken up helping to run the program therefore less time to fundraise. Our goal for 2019 is to reverse this!
