Today is #RUOKDay but any day is the day to start an R U OK? conversation and lend support to those you care about. Thank you to the many people taking action today and supporting this conversation movement all year round. My thoughts.
ACAud inc. HAASA CEO, Miguel Diaz and Board Member, Mark Paton, attended the recent Hearing Health Sector Alliance meeting in Canberra held over 2 days. Amongst the many topics of discussion were the Audiology Decision Regulatory Impact Statement, as well as the identification of key priorities to advocate for improved access to hearing health services for vulnerable and disadvantaged members of the community. The Alliance also met with members of the Department of Health’s Hearing Services Program (HSP) to discuss proposed changes to the program.
Dr. Angela Alexander's incredible journey with #APD. We are delighted to welcome her to the ACAud inc. HAASA CEP Day in Melbourne this year.
Audiologist Dr Angela Alexander, Au.D., CCC-A, MNZAS has overcome abuse to shine on the world stage and establish the Auditory Processing Institute to train her peers online and help patients escape “the hidden prison” of auditory processing disorder. After working with #APD patients for two decades, she is on a mission to put the condition on the map. In just six years, through her institute, she has upskilled about 250 audiologists and speech pathologists globally in diagnosis and therapeutic options, and evaluated and provided therapy to hundreds of patients. She is so passionate about spreading the word that she even hosted a TEDx talk featuring a harrowing recount of her childhood, which was the most watched TEDx worldwide in September 2021, attracting 1.1 million views. Her message is simple: it’s vital parents, teachers, health professionals and people with this often-neglected disorder know it is real and that something can be done to help the many people it is preventing from living a full life.
It was a pleasure to introduce the new CEO of ACAud, Miguel Diaz, to our colleagues at the Hearing Health Sector Alliance meeting in Canberra early this week. The two day meeting covered many current issues in the sector and as usual provided a sensible approach for sector members to take back to their constituencies . The meeting with Chris Carlile and his team from HSP is always valuable and news of the progress with the new Portal was welcome. It was pleasing to see the involvement with the Health Ministers department through advisor Aria Bolkus who provided a well tuned ear to what the HHSA presented to her, we look forward to working more closely with her and the department. #audiology Jane MacDonald Leanne Emerson Miguel A.
