This month, Hearing Australia and the National Acoustic Laboratories were privileged to host the Hon Bill Shorten MP, Minister for NDIS and Government Services, and Jerome Laxale MP, Member for Bennelong. During their visit, they learnt about how Hearing Australia supports over 280,000 clients each year ranging from babies to children, adults, pensioners and veterans. They also had time for a quick demo of the anechoic chamber.

Minister Shorten later commented on social media regarding his visit to Hearing Australia and NAL…

It’s the only lab in Australia and one of six in the world. The lab allows Australia and the world’s top scientists to do transformative research into hearing. Global companies like Google and Apple travel here to test new technologies that will help people hear.

2022 is Hearing Australia’s 75th anniversary. Each week it helps more than 11,000 Aussies. An amazing organisation.

It’s great to have responsibility of Hearing Australia as the Minister for the NDIS and Government Services.
