JETT'S JOURNEY

Anthony, our very own UsherKids Australia fundraising superhero, has organised Jett's Journey where participants are either running a Marathon (42.2km or joining along the way), walking 20km, rowing 20+km or cycling 75km for his nephew Jett who was recently diagnosed with Usher syndrome.

The event will be taking place in various locations across QLD, NSW and VIC on 13 November, 2021 with all funds raised supporting UsherKids Australia.


If you would like to join in on the action on 13th November, send us an email info@usherkidsaustralia.com and you can pound the pavement from wherever you are across the globe. Alternatively you can contribute via the link below:

11TH NATIONAL DEAFBLIND CONFERENCE & USHER PRE-CONFERENCE

We are pleased to invite our Usher community to join the 11th National Deafblind Conference, 2022 in Perth 30 June -1 July 2022 at the Esplanade Hotel Fremantle by Ridges, Western Australia.

The Conference theme "deafblind keeping connected through COVID and beyond" aims to support the reconnection of people with deafblindness and those that support them across Australia.  The National Deafblind Conference is the only forum in Australia with capacity to educate, connect, and support across sectors including deafblind individuals, families, service providers, educators, allied health and community organisations. 

UsherKids Australia will also be supporting the Usher syndrome Pre-Conference on 29 June 2022 - 9am - 3pm, a day dedicated specifically to the needs of those living with Usher syndrome. 

Both the National DeafBlind Conference and the Usher Pre-Conference will be live streamed for those unable to attend in person.
