Following today’s announcement by the Minister for Finance, Senator the Hon. Mathias Cormann, we advise that no decision to transfer Australian Hearing into non-government ownership has been made.
Government has been approached by a consortium led by the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children, alongside Cochlear Limited and Macquarie University, with a proposal for the transfer of Australian Hearing and National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL) into non-government ownership.
For Australian Hearing, this means nothing has changed and whilst we will assist Government in its formal assessment of the consortium’s proposal, our core focus remains to serve the needs of our valued clients to our high quality standards.
