The NSW SWISH Program aims to identify all babies born in NSW with significant permanent bilateral hearing loss, and for those children to be able to access appropriate intervention as soon as possible after birth.
Identification of significant hearing loss is achieved through universal hearing screening, this program is offered to all newborns born within NSW. We aim to screen all babies born in our hospitals prior to discharge. If screening is not completed before discharge you will be referred to one of our SWISH clinics.
