Clinical boundaries

Clinical disclaimer

Hearing Vibes Foundation provides educational resources, community programs and evidence-informed support. Website content is not a substitute for an individual assessment or treatment plan from an appropriately qualified professional.

Screening is not diagnosis

A screening activity can indicate that further assessment may be appropriate. It does not by itself establish a diagnosis.

When professional care is needed

Concerns about hearing, speech and language, balance, cognition, mental wellbeing, development or other health matters should be discussed with the relevant qualified professional.

Emergency situations

This website is not an emergency service. For urgent or life-threatening situations, use the appropriate local emergency or medical service.

Program claims

HVF will distinguish established evidence, evidence-informed adaptations and early program learning. Outcomes can vary between individuals and programs.
