Why would I join HBA - how would it benefit my business?
"As I would tell everyone who wonders if they should join; my best spent money."
Mona Sunde, Audiometrist.
Some Member experiences, when starting a new business:
“HBA is the shoulder you need to lean on, the supportive hand that gently taps you on the back, reminding you that you're doing great and encouraging you to keep moving forward”.
Mo Helou, Audiologist, Neuro Audiology Clinic, NSW.
“I opened my own independent practice ... It has been a really rewarding experience. From finding a premises and fitting it out to registering with HSP and Medicare to seeing your first clients, there is a lot to learn but there is also a lot to celebrate.
As a member of HBA, I have found it to be so supportive and has helped me to build a strong network of trusted colleagues that will always help and encourage me. If you are thinking about starting your own practice, I would highly recommend joining HBA, the resources that HBA provides as well as the Facebook group will answer so many of your questions and guide you in the right direction.”
Emma Heale, Audiologist, Hear and Clear Care, VIC.
“I heard about HBA at Jane’s Audiology Australia CPD webinar .... I joined before I started my business, and it was the best decision I made. Jane and Stephen were a great sounding board for all my queries and never made me feel like I was wasting their time or asking silly questions! They helped me sort out the steps to take and checked in as I progressed. One year later, I’m sure I’d feel more isolated if I wasn’t a member.”
Erin Seamer, Audiologist, Hearing Help, QLD.
"HBA provided invaluable support as I embarked on my entrepreneurial journey, instilling in me confidence and reassurance. Establishing the administrative aspects of my practice in alignment with legal standards was a top priority, and HBA facilitated connections with the right individuals. Their continuous support and the insightful seminars customized to meet the needs of practice owners have been truly advantageous to me. I am sincerely grateful for this."
Tara Bisheh, Confidence Hearing, VIC.
