Community programs
Services & Opportunities
To date, we have connected with a range of church groups, sporting organisations, workplaces, support groups, retirement villages and like-minded health clinics to better the health outcomes of our community. We tailor our programs to the specific needs and goals of each organisation or group.
Some examples of community programs include:
– ‘Round table’ professional Q&A healthy living discussion panels
– Healthy living presentations about hearing & social isolation, how to manage tinnitus, the impacts of industrial deafness and noise, diet and healthy living, recalibrating life and exercise after COVID-19, living life pain-free, how to reduce falls risk, etc.
– General health screens for hearing, diet, exercise and mobility.
– Guided stretching and exercise sessions.
– Impression taking and fitting of custom swimming, musician or noise earplugs.
– Professional development and training for health professionals (including when to refer to an audiologist, exercise physiologist, dietitian or remedial massage therapist).
While we prefer to come to you, aspects of our program can be delivered virtually.
Why are our community programs important?
In 2019, 9 in 10 deaths in Australia were from chronic health conditions and over 30% of these were preventable by modifying a person’s lifestyle (AIHW).
We strongly believe that education empowers people to make better informed decisions about their health and quality of life.
The benefits of our community programs are that they:
– Inspire individuals to act on their health earlier, so they can remain in the workforce longer.
– Raise awareness about the importance of hearing, nutrition and exercise and how they impact health and cognitive decline.
– Prevent injuries and the consequences of falls by understanding common risk factors.
– Promote healthy lifestyle change with simple strategies, decreasing the impact of chronic health conditions.
– Facilitate community and peer support through group involvement and awareness.
