This course aims to provide you with the skills and knowledge to prevent hearing, tinnitus and balance disorders, and to assess and treat people who have hearing, tinnitus and balance disorders. The course combines pre-clinical and clinical study, integrating theory and practice. Demand for audiologists is expected to increase significantly over coming years due to a numbers of factors including: the ageing population, improved and compulsory screening of infants for hearing loss, improved technology and increased consumer demand for diagnostic and rehabilitative audiological services.

Employment opportunities in the field of audiology are expected to increase over the next decade. Many hearing loss related disorders are associated with aging. The Australian population is experiencing a growth in population aged 50 and over, due to the age progression of the baby boomers generation. Audiology graduates also have career opportunities in research, teaching, specialist services and raising awareness of the needs of people with hearing-related difficulties.
