It was a pleasure to have Matt Thistlethwaite MP at our launch day back in March.

On world hearing day I was fortunate to help launch the National Eye and Ear Health survey which will examine the eye and ear health of 5000 Australians over the next 2 years.

22/07/2022

The Australian Eye and Ear Health Survey is a cross-sectional study intended to document the prevalence of vision and hearing impairment among 1,750 Indigenous and 3,250 non-Indigenous Australians across 30 nation-wide sites, selected to approximate the proportions of urban, outer and inner regional and remote-living Australians as distributed in the 2016 Census, across all states.
