Taralye, the oral language centre for deaf children is Victoria's leading oral language centre, providing services to deaf and hearing impaired children and their families throughout the State.

Taralye offers programs and services to families with young babies and children to allow them to have access to the world of hearing and spoken language. Being hearing impaired is not life threatening but it's certainly life altering.

Taralye advocates for early diagnosis of hearing loss, prompt fitting of hearing aids and/or cochlear implants and high quality early childhood intervention services. Without professional intervention children with hearing loss can experience delays in their speech, language, learning and social development.

Our philosophy is to help hearing impaired children learn to listen and to speak like their hearing peers and to enable them to attend mainstream schooling so as to reach their full potential.

Taralye operates an Audiology and Otology Clinic offering a full range of audiological facilities for newborns to 18 year olds. We draw on the experience of speech pathologists, psychologists, social workers and teachers of the deaf to assist parents in optimising the language development of their children.
