Turn up the volume for kids with hearing loss!
17th October 2025
Loud Shirt Day is the boldest, brightest, most feel-good fundraiser across Australia and New Zealand – and it’s all for a seriously good cause. Each year, workplaces, schools, families and friends throw on their loudest shirts to raise funds and awareness for children who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Funds raised help provide life-changing services like speech therapy, audiology, early intervention and family support – giving kids with hearing loss the tools they need to thrive.
Loud Shirt Day is proudly coordinated and celebrated by First Voice member centres across Australia and New Zealand.
Hearing loss is often an unseen condition - raising awareness is vital to raising understanding!
