Australia's Hearing Health Workforce Summit 2026
Hearing Health Workforce Summit 2026 9th – 10th November Adelaide
Convened by ACAud Inc. HAASA
A national conversation bringing together Australia's hearing healthcare workforce to shape practical recommendations for the future.
What should the hearing health journey look like for a newborn born in Australia today? How should they be supported before school, through education, into work, across adulthood, healthy ageing and aged care? And what workforce does Australia need to make that pathway real?
Australia’s Hearing Health Workforce Summit 2026 will bring this conversation together. ACAud is calling for submissions to identify where programs, services, training pathways and workforce capability already exist, where they are disconnected, and what is needed to connect them into a clear national pathway.
Every check must connect to a response. Every response needs a workforce ready to deliver it.
Across Australia, practical answers already exist across the hearing and community health workforce: in students, Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Health Workers and Health Practitioners, nurse audiometrists, audiometrists, audiologists, educators, employers, community programs and service providers. ACAud is convening the
Summit to bring those answers together, connect what is already working, and help to shape the workforce pathway Australia needs.
