You're our Priority
Audiology Australia (AudA) looks forward to welcoming the audiology community back to face-to-face education and events around Australia.
The health and wellbeing of our community is of the upmost utmost importance. To ensure this we will continue to closely monitor the circumstances and requirements in all states and territories in line with local, state, and national authorities, public health advice and state government public health directives, as mandated. Currently, our events are running as scheduled and we will respond appropriately and provide further updates should the situation evolve. For InspirED 2021, should we not be in a position to host a face-to-face event in a particular city, the team will assess a range of options including postponing the event (up to 2 weeks) if viable or moving the face-to-face program to an online program.
