Australian College of Audiology incorporating HAASA

The Australian College of Audiology incorporating the Hearing Aid Audiology Society of Australia (ACAud inc. HAASA), is the only professional membership body representing both audiologists and audiometrists in Australia. We promote high-quality hearing health care to achieve improved hearing and communication outcomes for those in our communities experiencing hearing difficulty and those who care for them. We advocate for more equitable hearing services, promote better understanding of hearing health and support our members to uphold the National Competency Standards, deliver exceptional care to the public, and to grow their audiological knowledge. We are an organisation built on the strength of our combined members and the relationships we have forged with peers and stakeholders within the health sector. We have a rich history spanning from the formation of HAASA in 1961, to the collaboration of practitioners into ACAud in 1996. The recent amalgamation will form a combined practitioner body in 2024 which will become the Peak Practitioner Body representing both Audiometrists and Audiologists in Australia. Our members have a strong and proud record of ethical practice and quality care across the hearing health service sector.
