Prevention

Our Commitment to Prevention 

At Hearing Australia, we’re passionate about our mission to prevent avoidable hearing loss.   

In collaboration with government and non-government organisations, industries, and communities, we are developing national strategies that will make real impact in the lives of the people we serve.    

We are focused on two key areas:

  • preventing noise induced hearing loss in high-risk industries 
  • improving ear health and hearing outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children

The flags of the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander peoples

Hearing Australia acknowledges the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land that we live and work on, and we pay our respects to Elders past, present and future.
