Audiology Australia will hold the AudA 2025 Conference April 1-4, 2025 at the Adelaide Convention Centre.  

“With Australian and international audiologists, researchers, hearing health experts, and commercial leaders expected to attend, there is no other opportunity like it to expand your networks, open new opportunities, and build knowledge and skills at the cutting-edge of contemporary audiology and hearing health,” says AudA CEO Leanne Emerson.

With the theme ‘Unite, Innovate and Evolve Together,’ AudA is hoping the event will start a conversation across the pipeline from research to translation and clinical delivery, that transforms the profession’s mindset about how to foster the foundations of real innovation.

Emerson says Australian hearing health’s strength lies in the ideas we spark mid-conversation, the opportunities we seize at just the right time. It lies in the partnerships we build, and the innovation we dare to drive. Whether we’re researching, in the clinic, or translating discovery into new realities, we do it best together.

“The AudA 2025 Conference is focusing on the ‘us’ of audiology with a program designed to ignite new collaboration across the innovation pipeline, inspire knowledge sharing and foster technological and clinical advancement,” she says.
