ABOUT US

The Hearing Health Sector Alliance membership is a group of national representatives of the hearing health sector, including consumer groups, health professionals, industry associations, as well as research organisations.

​

In 2019, the Council of Australian Governments endorsed the first Roadmap for Hearing Health to improve the lives of the millions of Australians affected by hearing loss. With the Federal and State governments now charged with responsibility for implementing more than 140 recommendations in the Roadmap, it is crucial the hearing health sector is part of the decision-making and ensures adequate resources are allocated.

​

The Alliance is well-placed to hold governments to account to ensure all Australians who are deaf or hard of hearing can live well in the community and access vital education, services and technology.

​

"Hearing is intrinsic to the lives of most Australians. It underpins the conversations that form the basis of our relationships and social lives, it gives us access to the beauty of music, and it can warn us of approaching danger. Hearing seems so natural that is not until it is gone or affected in some way that we realise how much we have taken it for granted."
