This course provides the skills needed to work as an audiometrist or screening audiometrist, who perform hearing screenings and assessments to identify hearing impairment, and take appropriate action. This action may include referral for further audiological or medical assessment; coordinating programs for the prevention of hearing loss; and/or care management and education programs.

At this level you do not prescribe or dispense hearing aids and you are not qualified to work as an independent practitioner. You may work in ear, nose and throat specialist clinics, audiology or audiometry practices, industrial settings or community and regional health settings.
