How do I become a Volunteer & Mentor

To become a Hear For You mentor you need to:

• Be over 18 years of age.
• Be deaf or hard of hearing.
• Have a Child Protection Check number and/or be willing to acquire one.
• Have a valid NDIS Worker Screening Check and/or be willing to acquire one.

An NDIS worker screening check is where a state or territory  worker screening unit assesses whether a worker poses a threat to a person with disability.

State and territory worker screening units do the check on behalf of the NDIS Commission. The check decides if a worker is ‘cleared’ or ‘excluded’ from working in certain roles with people with disability. NDIS worker screening checks are valid for up to 5 years.
