About the Team/Service/ Location

We are a small and supportive team providing a full range of diagnostic and rehabilitative services to the Hawke’s Bay community. We predominantly see children and young adults in our clinic. We aim to provide quality diagnostic assessments and a whanau centred multidisciplinary approach to rehabilitation for children identified with hearing loss.

The team is made up of 4 audiologists and 2 administration support. We work closely with our Newborn Hearing screening team, our ENT colleagues as well as our Advisors on Deaf Children and Ko Taku Reo Resource Teachers of the Deaf. We have strong links to other audiology departments across the country.

We know how important a team approach is in audiology and have fostered a work environment that is supportive, fun and where everyone has value.
