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
Hearing Australia urges action on occupational noise induced hearing loss
When a person is exposed to harmful noises at work, their hearing can be damaged permanently. Hearing Australia is committed to protecting and preserving the hearing of high-risk workers.
Safe Work Toolkit
We're dedicated to helping workplaces protect and preserve the hearing of workers. Remember for everyone's safety, work safely.
