Audiology Australia’s position is that teleaudiology is an appropriate model of service delivery for the audiology profession.
To advance the practice of teleaudiology in Australia, Audiology Australia makes the following recommendations:
- Recommendation 1: That the Australian Government add hearing health services provided directly by Audiologists and delivered via telehealth to the Medicare Benefits Schedule and the Hearing Services Program on an ongoing basis.
- Recommendation 2: That Audiologists review their service delivery model and incorporate teleaudiology when appropriate to deliver person-centred services.
