Funded Activity Summary

Aboriginal children experience the highest rates of chronic ear disease in the world, with access to specialist ENT care limited by cultural issues as well as long travel distances, if they live in rural areas. This results in children developing hearing loss that could have been prevented with early childhood ENT treatment. This Indigenous led telehealth research, based in NSW, will create an efficient, culturally appropriate hearing health care model for all Indigenous Australians.
