Clinical Audiologist

Help People Hear Better, Communicate Better and Live Their Best Possible Life At earLAB, our mission is simple: to help our clients enjoy their best possible life by reducing the communication barriers caused by hearing loss and ear health conditions. Founded in 2018, earLAB is an independent private audiology and ear health practice with clinics in Richmond and Footscray, Melbourne. We provide a broad range of audiological and ear health services to clients aged 10 years and over, with a strong commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes for every client. We're not your average healthcare provider. Our work sits at the intersection of audiology, ear health, hearing technology, hearing protection, music and workplace hearing conservation. As the exclusive distributor of ACS Custom products in Australia and New Zealand, we also work with musicians, performers, sound engineers, industry professionals and people who require high-performance custom hearing protection and custom in-ear monitors. We are now looking for an exceptional Audiologist to join our experienced and supportive team.
