Hearing Australia’s Hearing Bus brings sound advice to the doorstep of three RWA Villages

Wednesday, 3rd November, was a busy day for Hearing Australia’s Hearing Bus, which arrived at Joseph Banks Estate Retirement Village in the morning before heading to Mills and Keals Villages in Bentley just in time for afternoon tea. There, they were met by Lois Jones, President of the RWA Board and Resident of Keals Village, Property Administrator Rhonda Castle, and Megan Brown, Village Manager at Joseph Banks Estate, pictured above with Terry from Hearing Australia.

Hearing Australia is a nationwide government-funded hearing service dedicated to caring for Australians and their hearing for over 70 years. In addition to regular hearing checks, the service plays an essential role in supporting people with disabilities, ensuring that all Australians can access vital hearing care. Residents were invited to come along for a free hearing check, receive sound advice from the hearing professionals at Hearing Australia, and enjoy a chat over a cuppa and a piece of cake.

For Joseph Banks Estate, this marked the second annual visit from the Hearing Bus, reinforcing the importance of annual hearing tests, as recommended by the team at Hearing Australia. Thanks to the support of the many residents who attended at Keals and Mills Village, RWA hopes to make this an annual event at these villages as well!
