\n
\nWe're looking for someone who is clinically capable, curious, compassionate and genuinely cares about people.\n
\n
\nYou will ideally have:\n
\n
\nA recognised qualification in Audiology\n
\nFull membership with Audiology Australia or an equivalent professional body\n
\nA current Clinical Certificate of Practice\n
\nClinical experience as an Audiologist\n

\nInsurance-funded services\n
\nWorking with musicians, performers or people working in high-noise environments\n
\n
\nDon't have experience in all of these areas? That's okay.\n
\n
\nOur scope at earLAB is varied, and training and support will be provided to help you develop your skills in areas such as aural microsuction, custom hearing protection, CIEMs and ear impression taking.\n
\n
\nA Different Kind of Audiology Role\n
\n
\nAt earLAB, we believe audiology should be about more than simply completing a hearing test and recommending a hearing aid.\n
\n
\nOur clients have different lives, different environments and different communication goals.\n
\n
\nYou might spend part of your day helping an older client reconnect with family through better hearing, and another part taking precision ear impressions for a musician's custom in-ear monitors.\n
\n
\nYou might work with someone concerned about occupational noise exposure, help a performer protect their hearing without compromising their ability to hear music, or provide ear health care to someone who simply wants relief from impacted ear wax.\n
\n
\nThat's what makes working at earLAB different.\n
\n
\nWhy earLAB?\n
\nWe're Independent\n
\n
\nWe aren't a large corporate audiology chain.\n
\n
\nOur clinicians have genuine opportunities to exercise clinical judgement, develop meaningful relationships with clients and contribute ideas that shape how we deliver our services.\n
\n
\nWe're Focused on Client Outcomes\n
\n
\nWe don't want clinicians who simply work through appointments.\n
\n
\nWe want clinicians who care about what happens to the client after they leave the clinic.\n
\n
\nThere are no traditional KPIs or sales targets driving your clinical decisions. Our focus is on providing the right solution for each individual client.\n
\n
\nWe're Innovative\n
\n
\nWe're constantly looking for ways to improve ear health and hearing care.\n
\n
\nFrom microsuction and preventative ear health through to hearing technology, custom hearing protection, CIEMs and workplace hearing conservation, our work extends well beyond traditional audiology.\n
\n
\nWe're Connected to the Real World\n
\n
\nOur clients aren't just patients sitting inside a clinic.\n
\n
\nWe work with people across the community, including musicians, performers, professionals, workplaces, educators, allied health providers and people working in high-noise environments.\n
\n
\nWe aim to make hearing and ear health care accessible, practical and relevant to people's everyday lives.\n
\n
\nWe Invest in Professional Growth\n
\n
\nWe believe CPD should be more than simply ticking a box for a professional body.\n
\n
\nIt's an opportunity to learn, challenge your thinking and improve what you can offer your clients.\n
\n
\nWe support:\n
\n
\nOngoing CPD and professional development\n
\nA CPD allowance\n
\nRegular clinical learning and team discussions\n
\nMonthly clinical gatherings\n
\nTraining and upskilling across ear health, hearing protection and CIEMs\n
\nKnowledge sharing across our clinical team\n
\nWe Like Our Team to Enjoy Coming to Work\n
\n
\nWe take our work seriously, but we don't believe healthcare needs to feel corporate or monotonous.\n
\n
\nWe value a positive team culture and make time to enjoy working together, including:\n
\n
\nQuarterly team-building activities\n
\nAnnual Christmas celebration with partners\n
\nProduct and service discounts\n
\nBirthday gifts\n
\nA supportive and collaborative team environment\n
\nCustom In-Ear Monitors & Hearing Protection\n
\n
\nOne of the unique opportunities at earLAB is the ability to develop expertise in custom hearing protection and custom in-ear monitors (CIEMs).\n
\n
\nThrough our work with ACS Custom and other leading IEM brands, you may work with:\n
\n
\nMusicians and performers\n
\nSound engineers\n
\nDJs and music professionals\n
\nIndustry professionals\n
\nPeople working in high-noise environments\n
\nClients seeking high-performance hearing protection\n
\n
\nYou'll learn how to take accurate ear impressions and develop an understanding of the importance of fit, comfort, acoustics and hearing protection for clients whose hearing is critical to their work and lifestyle.\n
\n
\nThis is an area that goes well beyond traditional audiology and provides an opportunity to develop a genuinely specialised skill set.\n
