Audiologists in Queensland Health work as part of a multi-disciplinary team in metropolitan and regional hospitals, providing inpatient and outpatient services to the community. Audiologists perform basic and complex hearing assessments and provide rehabilitative and special services such as advice and coordination of hearing aid technologies and services.
Queensland Health runs a Cochlear Implant Program (CIP) from the Royal Children's Hospital in Brisbane which provides multidisciplinary assessment of children with complex developmental and health needs for candidacy for cochlear implantation and provides audiological management of children post implantation. The CIP also provides outreach services to regional Queensland to support families and professionals.
Audiologists in Queensland Health may also have the opportunity to participate in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Ear Health Program which provides hearing health and speech pathology services to the Indigenous population of Queensland.
