The ACAud Clinical Internship (ACI) Pathway for Domestic Audiologists has been developed to support clinicians progressing toward independent clinical practice within Australia’s hearing care workforce.

The pathway provides structured supervision, competency development and professional support aligned with ACAud clinical certification standards.

Domestic-qualified Audiologists undertaking the pathway are required to complete the ACAud Clinical Internship (ACI) supervision program, including applicable internship stages, portfolio requirements, competency documentation and certification requirements.

Applicants undertaking the ACI internship pathway may be eligible for earlier progression within the ACAud clinical certification pathway, subject to applicable ACAud certification requirements.

All applicants must successfully meet applicable supervision, portfolio and certification requirements, including final supervisor endorsement and ACAud approval processes, prior to independent clinical certification.
