About Can:Do

We want children, young people and their families to live life focused on what they CAN do.

That’s why we formed in 1874: to provide support and services to children and young people who are blind, deaf, have low vision, are hard of hearing, or have diverse needs such as development delay or Autism Spectrum Disorder. Importantly, we also support their families. Together, we work to help children with these challenges, communicate better, connect easier, and live their best lives.

The Cora Barclay Centre founded in 1945, is Australia’s longest-running listening and spoken language service for children who are deaf or hard of hearing.
