Chair or the CBC Board 


Chairman’s Report 

I am pleased to report that the year 2008 has been generally a very positive year for the Cora Barclay Centre. 

With the ability to consolidate and build on the “hard yards” of the previous two years, the stability and 

confidence in the future has allowed management and staff to focus fully on the all important task of service 

delivery to our children and families. 

This has been achieved largely by the assistance afforded by the State Government through the Minister of Early 

Childhood Services, The Honorable Jay Weatherill, and our local member Minister Jane Lomax-Smith. Our gratitude 

is expressed to all involved in making this possible. 

I would make special mention of the many hours of service given by our very generous Volunteers and for the 

highly professional and dedicated input by all members of staff which has made this year successful. 

It was with regret that the Board accepted the resignations of Mr Angus Irwin and Dr John Rice during the term 

and I thank them for their substantial contributions. Dr Rice, however, is not lost to the Centre as he has kindly 

accepted the position of Ambassador in due recognition of his lifetime of service. 

My sincere appreciation to the Board members who have 

supported me throughout the year and in particular to 

Peter DeCure and Nicole Haak who are not seeking re 

election due to other commitments. 

The story of the Cora Barclay Centre continues into its 64th 

year in 2009 and I appeal to all involved to strive for the 

continuance of this service for South Australian children 

who are deaf and hearing impaired and their families.

Chief Executive’s Report 

As the Chairman has stated in his report, 2008 has been a successful year for the Centre and has put us in a strong 

position for the future. Of all disabilities, hearing impairment is perhaps the most amenable to truly effective 

habilitation and rehabilitation and it is an exciting challenge, and a privilege, for us to work with our families to this 

end. 

Ninety five percent of children who are hearing impaired are born to hearing parents and it is to be expected that 

these families will want their children to learn to speak, communicate, be educated and to interact socially the 

same as children born with normal hearing. This is an entirely possible outcome for the majority of children who 

are deaf and hearing impaired, even those with severe or profound hearing loss in both ears. 

The achievement of this objective requires: 

• the very early identification of hearing loss (which we do exceptionally well in South Australia through the 

Government’s universal newborn hearing screening program); 

• confirmation of diagnosis within three months (an international protocol); 

• commencement with an Early Intervention program such as the one we provide within six months (also an 

international protocol); 

• timely and optimal access to hearing aids and cochlear implants in one or both ears; and 

• a tremendous and continuing commitment of the family, child and (re)habilitation team throughout childhood - 

particularly in the very early years, but also during primary and secondary schooling and the early adult years. In 

this regard it is noteworthy that there is a growing interest among Early Intervention providers in whole-of-life 

service and support for the hearing impaired. 

Throughout our 64 years, the Cora Barclay Centre has been totally focused on achieving the best possible outcomes 

for South Australian children who are deaf and hearing impaired. To maintain this tradition we must continue 

to build our multi-disciplinary clinical team and in 2009 and 

2010, subject to the availability of resources, we aim to secure 

additional expert input from an Educational Psychologist and 

Occupational Therapist specialising in sensory integration, as 

well as to strengthen audiology, speech pathology and Cochlear 

Implant Clinic services. 

It is widely recognized that the best model for services to deaf 

and hearing impaired children is through a comprehensive, 

family-centred, one-stop-shop approach - and we will continue 

to follow this model at our Centre. Our recent parent survey 

shows a very high level of satisfaction with our programs and 

we have an extraordinarily high level of active involvement of 

both parents in which we should take great pride. 

To adequately resource our services and programs we need the continuing support of government and to continue 

to expand reliable income through our own fundraising, business activities and philanthropic grants. This will 

continue to be a significant challenge for us especially in the current economic environment. 

2008 was a challenging year financially but we have come through it stronger and more secure than for many 

years past. Fundraising activity was at an all-time high - including the ABC Car Park Capers in March; Adelaide 

Rock & Roll events in February and October; Loud Shirt Day in May; Carols by Candlelight golf day in October and 

Christmas concert in December; Channel 9 Telethon lotteries and associated events throughout the year; Search for 

a Star talent quest for 14 weeks leading up to the grand final in November; and our inaugural City to Bay Fun Run 

in September. While all of this was necessary to make ends meet, in retrospect it was too much for our small band 

of committed staff, volunteers and families and the Board and executive have decided in future to concentrate on 







a smaller number of major activities namely Carols by Candlelight, Loud Shirt Day and the City to Bay Fun 

Run, but with a similar overall fundraising target. Our sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to the 

success of all of these activities in 2008, it was a huge effort. 

Business income from the sale of sound field systems and from fee-for-service audiology increased notably 

during 2008 and we will continue to develop these in 2009 and beyond. Claire Harris did a marvellous 

job in grant writing and we were successful in securing around $150,000 in much-needed grants. We are 

deeply grateful to the significant number of trusts, foundations and businesses who either awarded us 

grants or sponsored and supported our own fundraising activities. 

During the year we enjoyed a number of productive 

meetings with State Government Ministers including 

the Minister for Health, John Hill; the Minister for Early 

Childhood Development, Jay Weatherill; and our local 

member and Minister for Education, Jane Lomax- 

Smith. We were also privileged to be visited by three 

members of the Federal Parliament, the Member for 

Adelaide, Kate Ellis; Bill Shorten, the new Parliamentary 

Secretary for Disability Services; and Senator Cory 

Bernardi. The interest and support of both the 

Commonwealth and State Governments, and the 

considerable number of government department staff 

with whom we frequently deal, is greatly appreciated. 

The Report from the Program Manager, Robyn Phillips outlines the successes and challenges of 2008 

in the clinical area. From my perspective it was an outstanding year in both the Early Intervention and 

School Support programs. During her two-month residency at the Centre in March and April, Dr Christina 

Perigoe from North America provided education, training and mentoring support to the clinical group and 

conducted an extremely helpful review of our clinical programs and mentoring arrangements. Our ongoing 

relationships with international centres and leaders in the field of deaf education contribute significantly to 

the success of programs. Our thanks to the Honda Foundation, Cooper’s Foundation and Morialta Trust for 

their grants which made her visit possible. 

In 2008 we welcomed a record number of new referrals to the Centre which is a credit to the Program 

Manager and her team. Our only real frustration was with delays in developing our Cochlear Implant Clinic 

after the appointment of our new audiologist Adrian Galindo in February. Current arrangements which 

currently prevent us from providing a full CI service, and consequently deny families a choice of service, are 

a serious problem and we are working closely with government services to overcome this. 

In closing I would like to thank the board for their important role in the governance of the Centre and 

all our staff for their tireless and dedicated contributions to all aspects of our services, programs and 

fundraising.

Program Manager’s Report 

A significant body of research evidence has identified Family-Centred Practice (FCP) as the most appropriate 

early intervention (EI) approach for families of children with disabilities, including children with hearing loss. So 

compelling is the outcomes evidence that in the US it has resulted in legislation mandating a family-centred 

approach to EI for children with disabilities (Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA), 

2004). In a family-centred model, specialist intervention professionals work collaboratively with each family to 

achieve optimum outcomes for their child. The auditory-verbal therapist contributes their expert knowledge of 

child development and deafness intervention and the parents contribute their expert knowledge of their child. 

The therapist guides, coaches and supports the parents to confidently facilitate their child’s auditory, speech and 

language development and to become an effective advocate for their child and family. 

Family-centredness is an overarching philosophy, guiding the focus and strategic direction of the Cora Barclay 

Centre clinical program. To this end we are continuing to build a diverse professional team to work with and 

support each family. During 2008 we appointed Jane Palmer to replace Liz Worley (who resigned due to ill 

health) in the very important role of Family Counsellor. Additionally, we hired Adrian Galindo to replace William 

Woytowych, who will still be available as a consultant audiologist. Adrian is at the Centre five days a week, 

working as both a paediatric specialist and cochlear implant audiologist, as well as privately with adult hearing 

aid users. The clinical team now comprises teachers of the deaf, a speech pathologist, certified auditory-verbal 

therapists, audiologist, and family counsellor; and also consults with professionals in allied health and education 

organisations such as Australian Hearing and the Women’s and Children’s Hospital. 

We continually seek to refine and improve our clinical programs in response to new developments and research 

evidence. Implementation of several new services will require grant funding and on this wish list are a parttime 

Occupational Therapist to screen for sensory integration difficulties, a support group that is able to more 

appropriately respond to the unique needs of families of children with unilateral hearing losses, a support group for 

siblings of children/students with hearing loss, and access to AVT for rural and remote families. 

Over the years we have never lost sight of the fact that CBC 

was founded by families because they had a specific need 

that was not being met elsewhere, that their children with 

hearing loss would learn to communicate using their spoken 

mother tongue. The most special and unique aspect, among 

several that set CBC apart from other providers of services to 

children with hearing loss in SA, is the involvement of parents 

in policy making and planning, at all levels of the organisation. 

This is manifested by parent representation at Board level, 

in the Program Planning Committee and as members of the 

staff. Changes to the EI program occur either because parents 

express a need or management proposals are provided support 

by parents. Through the Parent and Community Council (chaired 

by Sarah Carlson) and the Community Wheel (chaired by Amy Barnett), and the sheer kindness and goodwill of a 

group of EI mums, an increasingly stronger parent-to-parent mentoring and support group is developing. Parent-toparent 

support and mentoring is a cornerstone of family-centred practice and has been actively promoted across EI 

and School Support programs. I am grateful for the philanthropic assistance provided by the Ian Potter Foundation, 

Community Benefit and Satisfac Credit Union who all recognised the central benefits of family-centred practice, 

mentoring and counselling. 

2008 has been a year of consolidation and growth for the clinical team. Compared to our Alliance counterparts 

in other states we have a very small team for the total student numbers supported in the EI and School Support 

programs, which provides a testament to the dedication and work ethic of the therapy/ teaching staff. I have been 

blessed, as Program Manager, by the fact that the outstanding therapy/teaching team has remained substantially 

the same during 2007/2008.



2008 Highlights 


More families join the Centre 

In 2008 the Cora Barclay Centre was the service of 

choice for many families witnessed by a spike in 

enrolments of babies whose hearing loss had recently 

been diagnosed through newborn hearing screenings. 

Twenty new families were welcomed into the Early 

Intervention Program and have experienced the benefits 

of the family friendly holistic service which has become 

the trademark of service delivery at the Centre. A 

further 25 families with children in mainstream schools 

enrolled for support from the Teacher’s of the Deaf. 

Cora Barclay Wins Second International Award 

The Washington based Alexander Graham Bell Association of the Deaf awarded its prestigious 2008 Rookie of the 

Year Award to Cora Barclay Centre therapist Hillary Ganek. The award recognizes an outstanding young professional 

who is training to become a Certified Auditory-Verbal therapist (AVT). 

Twenty-six year-old Hillary Ganek has been working at the Centre since March 2007 as part of our unique Early 

Intervention Mentoring and Training Program. The Program recruited key international AV therapists, including Jim 

and Lea Watson and Christina Perigoe, to work at the Centre and received funding from Newman’s Own, Honda 

and Coopers Foundations and Morialta Trust. 

Hillary was presented with the award at the 2008 Alexander Graham Bell International Convention, which was held 

in Milwaukee in USA. Hillary is one of three outstanding young professionals taking on advanced training at the 

Centre in order to continue the tradition of developing fluent spoken language in deaf babies and children.

Philanthropic Support 

The level of donations from trusts and foundations has enabled the Centre to establish new programs and meet 

specific needs of families who come from a range of cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. The staff and parent 

community has been buoyed by this level of support and benefits have been experienced across all programs and 

for all age groups. We are indebted to the Ian Potter Foundation, Morialta Trust, Honda Foundation, HBOS, Satisfac 

Credit Union, Community Benefit, Carols by Candlelight, ANZ Staff Foundation, Coopers Foundation, Bank SA and the 

Adelaide West and Victor Harbour Rotary Clubs. Relationships with all these organisations are important to us and 

we thank them all for their support. 

Early Intervention Mentoring Program – Christina Perigoe 

Internationally respected auditory-verbal clinician and university lecturer, Professor Christina Perigoe came to the 

Centre through the assistance of the Coopers and Honda Foundation and Morialta Trust. Christina worked as an AV 

mentor and consultant to the Clinical team and had endless energy, passion and commitment. The Centre greatly 

benefited from her insight and advice. 

City to Bay – ‘walking for talking’ 

For the first time in 2008 the Centre took part in the annual 

Sunday Mail City to Bay Fun Run. The involvement was 

initiated by an enthusiastic group of parents - ably led by Peter 

McDougall who wanted to raise funds for the Centre while 

getting together to have some fun. The event was a great 

success thanks to the team of dedicated parents who recruited 

over 200 participants, printed T-shirts, sourced incentive prizes 

and cooked and served a delicious gourmet breakfast. The 

extraordinary results have cemented the City to Bay’s place on 

the Centre’s fundraising calendar. 

Government Relations 

A range of Government Ministers visited the Centre during the year, including Jane Lomax Smith, Minister for 

Education, John Hill, Minister for Health, Jay Weatherill. Minister for Early Childhood Development, Bill Shorten 

Federal Parliamentary Secretary for Disability and Kate Ellis, Federal Minister for Youth. These meetings have been 

marked by open and good communication and a growing understanding of the challenges children who are deaf, 

and their families face. There was also acknowledgement of the important role the Cora Barclay Centre takes 

in responding to new medical and technological developments in deafness and in providing families with best 

practice holistic services.



2008 Further On – students sharing their stories 

Further On, the annual celebration of Cora Barclay Centre students, was held on November 26th in the Ballroom at 

Carclew. The event was first held 4 years ago to celebrate students, supported through the School Support Service, 

as they graduated from high school. Further On is now an opportunity to hear from primary and secondary school 

age students. Public speaking is often a challenge and especially so for many students with hearing loss. The 

event was standing room only with friends, families, supporters gathered together to listen to the eight student’s 

wonderful stories, which were inspiring, funny and very moving.

WHISPA – web of hearing impaired 

students and parents alliance 

WHISPA has grown in popularity and has developed a strong 

program of events, which have been appealing to students 

aged from 11 to 15 years of age. Recent activities have included 

laser skirmish, bush walking, bowling, Bunnings woodworking 

workshop, cooking and movie nights. Planning is underway 

for a two day camp in the Adelaide hills. The team leaders 

attended Personal Leadership Training Program run by Youth 

Opportunities Association (SA). Workshops included personal 

growth and leadership training, goal setting and finding that 

important balance between risk and security. They graduated as 

mentors and the skills learnt will prove invaluable in their role as 

supporters of the younger WHISPA students. 

Volunteers 

The Cora Barclay Centre’s volunteers are a life force of the organisation. We are grateful for assistance in 

administration, fundraising and with running play group. The strong band of volunteers brings a sense of 

community connection to the organisation and without their help the staff and the operational budget would be 

stretched beyond capacity
