Vital connection for rural Australia.
For families living in regional and remote communities, accessing vital early intervention, school support, and therapy services can be difficult. NextSense Connected Services brings an expert team to the family home via high-quality video conferencing.
Early intervention.
Early Intervention is vital to ensuring children with hearing or vision loss are supported to reach their full potential in life.
