Our standard consultation involves a full audiological assessment. Further management including hearing device fitting and cochlear implant assessment is conducted upon request.
We are accredited to provide Medicare subsidised hearing assessments for patients with a referral from a GP or a specialist.
The Hearing Innovations Referral Form is available here.
A Medicare rebate is also available for clients who have a Chronic Disease Management Plan from their GP which allows up to 5 audiological visits per year.
