For over 40 years, Australian Lions Hearing Dogs (ALHD) has been providing Australians who are deaf or hard of hea

One in six Australians suffer from some form of hearing loss and this number continues to rise. Currently, more than 400,000 Australians are suffering from severe or profound hearing loss. Factors impacting these difficu

Rosie Hosking has performed to more than 25,000 at the Adelaide Oval, and regularly features at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre and Convention Centre.
