​
Sponsors & Exhibitors: Based on Members' feedback, we are keen to keep the same cabaret-style seating for easy conversation between delegates, and for trade delegates to also participate. We have an extensive list of exhibitors who love liaising with HBA business owners and their teams - make the most of this opportunity!
​​​​
Where? Pullman Melbourne on the Park, 192 Wellington Parade, East Melbourne.
Please note that it is not the Pullman near Albert Park. Our hotel venue is opposite Jolimont train station, and the trams stop right outside the front door. It's very close to the Melbourne CBD, and overlooks the MCG, Melbourne Park and the beautiful Fitzroy Gardens.
​​
Accommodation: We have a significant delegates' discount. The Pullman Melbourne is in the Rod Laver Arena precinct and quickly books out when concerts or events are announced, so we recommend that you book early - here - to avoid disappointment.
​
Discounted Parking at a rate of $35.00 is available for all attendees. Guests just need to drive into the car park and the hotel system will register your licence plate. Before leaving the hotel, please approach the concierge or reception to activate your discount.

What our delegates said:
"What a well-orchestrated seminar, thoroughly insightful for small business owners ... well tailored to meet a variety of business needs so unique to our niche industry."
"The conference was worth every cent ... I have been telling colleagues how good it was and that they should seriously consider joining."
And about joining HBA:
"As I would tell everyone who wonders if they should join; my best spent money." Mona Sunde, Audiometrist.
Perth, 2024
​
We took our Team to Perth again this year, and welcomed delegates at our one-day Seminar, where Guest Speakers discussed the status of our industry, and advised a wide range of 'Strategies for Business Success'.
Our 2024 Gold Coast Seminar was another overwhelming success
The HBA Board and Executive thank The Hon. Mark Butler, MP, Minister for Health and Aged Care, for opening our February 2024 Seminar, and for wishing 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.

Dr Cliff Olson, AuD, our Gold Coast keynote speaker said:
"...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."
