Victorian Aboriginal Ear & Speech Health Group (VAESH)

The VAESH Group meet regularly to discuss ear/hearing and speech concerns and challenges currently faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Victoria. 

The Group’s aim is to reduce the burden of disease and closing the gap in ear/hearing and speech health.
