Who are we?

CIICA: is an exciting new global community of cochlear implant user and family advocacy groups and individuals who support our shared vision of closing the global gap in cochlear implant provision and ensuring lifelong support for all who benefit. 

The community of organisations and individuals value the opportunity for a new way of working for CI advocacy groups and the opportunity to make a difference. Working together we aim to make CIICA a shared and trusted space for collaboration to strengthen users, including children and young people, in advocacy work. 

There has been a lot of enthusiasm for this initiative and you are welcome to join this inclusive community if you share the goals and vision!  

United by a common mission and goals to maximise access to and support for cochlear implantation.
