The Canberra Deaf Children’s Association (CDCA) is a non-profit community organisation that endeavors to provide support and information to parents and families on issues affecting deaf and hearing-impaired children. This includes all sorts of hearing loss such as sensorineural, conductive, and unilateral.

We also provide information to other interested people in the community, teachers and students.

CDCA acts as a lobby group to relevant government departments and other organisations on behalf of deaf and hearing impaired children, their parents and their families.

Membership is open to parents, relatives and friends of deaf and hearing-impaired children and is $20 yearly. Membership includes a regular newsletter as well as updates on current news and events. We also hold social and educational events.

The CDCA can also link newly diagnosed families to other families in similar situations.
