In February 2019, the Government finalised the Rroadmap for Hearing Health to improve hearing outcomes for all Australians. Hearing Australia played a key role in this process by contributing our expertise, including improving services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients, children and adults with complex needs. Hearing Australia’s research arm, the National Acoustic Laboratories, also made a significant contribution to shaping the research activities outlined in the Roadmap.

We will continue to work with the Department of Health other government and hearing sector stakeholders to support the implementation of the Roadmap in 2019-20.
