The Hon. Mark Butler, MP, Minister for Health and Aged Care, opening our Seminar, wished us "... a fruitful and inspiring seminar", which it was!
​
The Minister acknowledged Members' significant contributions to Australian's hearing health, and commended the indispensable role of small-to-medium audiology businesses which raise awareness, provide solutions, and promote overall hearing wellbeing.
"Thank you Jane MacDonald and Stephen Logan ...
I've got to say that this was one of the absolute best conferences that I have ever attended inside of independent practice. So guys, keep up the great work.
The Hearing Business Alliance is fantastic when it comes to uniting a lot of like-minded individuals who truly care about high-quality hearing care here in Australia."
