A Better Ear

Redland City

Are you looking for the right clinic, not just another audiology job?

A Better Ear is an independent hearing clinic in Redlands City, and we are looking for an experienced audiologist to join our small team four days per week.

This is primarily a clinical audiology role. You will have your own patients, manage a broad adult rehabilitation caseload and be trusted to exercise your professional judgement.

We are deliberately looking for someone who wants a little more than an appointment book.

In a small clinic, good ideas matter. You will be encouraged to help develop new services, improve clinical procedures, work through a difficult patient pathway with the team, workshop consultation and communication skills, improve an AI scribe template, research a clinical question or bring expertise that helps us develop an entirely new area of care.

You will not be employed to manage the clinic or supervise other clinicians. We want an audiologist who enjoys being part of a capable small team and wants to contribute to it.

The clinical work

You will need to be confident independently providing adult diagnostic and rehabilitation audiology, including:

- comprehensive hearing assessment, otoscopy and immittance
- speech in noise assessment
- hearing aid selection, fitting, programming and follow-up
- real ear measurement and verification
- rehabilitation counselling, shared decision-making and behaviour change support
- Hearing Services Program and DVA services
- tinnitus assessment and management
- troubleshooting and complex rehabilitation
- management of challenging patient conversations and clinical risk

We also provide cerumen management. Experience is useful, but we can train the right person.

Approximately three to five years of clinical experience would be ideal, although we are more interested in competence and fit than an arbitrary number of years.

Good audiology is about more than the technology





We place considerable importance on counselling and the quality of the conversation clinicians have with patients.

You need to be able to understand what matters to someone, explore hesitation or uncertainty, explain your findings clearly, make a recommendation and help the patient reach a decision about what is in their best interests.

That includes being comfortable talking about treatment costs.

We do not use individual sales commissions, and recommendations must always be clinically appropriate and impartial. At the same time, we believe a good clinician should be comfortable helping an appropriate patient make a decision and act on it.

Experience with motivational interviewing, behaviour change or other person-centred approaches that help patients engage with hearing rehabilitation would be particularly valuable.

Who will enjoy working here?

We think the right person will be:

Engaged and collaborative. You want to contribute to the clinic around you, not simply complete your appointments and go home.

Warm and authentic. You relate naturally to patients and colleagues, and you have enough personality and sense of humour to enjoy working in a small team.

Confident without ego. You can make decisions, express an opinion and respectfully disagree. You can also say “I don’t know”, receive feedback and change your mind.

Commercially minded and clinically principled. You understand that excellent healthcare and a financially healthy independent clinic can and should coexist.





Curious and improvement oriented. You are interested in professional development, new ideas and making worthwhile improvements.

We welcome people who question things and bring ideas. We also value people who take the time to understand how and why we work the way we do before deciding something should change.

What you will bring

You will need:

- a recognised tertiary qualification in Audiology
- current practising membership with Audiology Australia or an equivalent recognised skilled body
- Hearing Services Program accreditation
- experience independently managing adult rehabilitation patients
- competence with hearing aid fitting, REMs and speech in noise assessment
- strong counselling and communication skills
- sound clinical judgement and documentation
- an interest in continuing to develop professionally

Advanced rehabilitation counselling skills would be highly regarded. Tinnitus management, cochlear implant mapping, cerumen management, DVA services, and clinical service development experience would also be valuable.

The role

This is a permanent part-time position working four days per week from our clinic in the Redlands.

Salary will reflect experience and clinical capabilities.

Relocation assistance is available where a move is required to take up the position.

There is one clinic location, no routine travel between sites and no home visits.

Most of your week will be patient facing. Time for team collaboration, improvement work and worthwhile projects is built around the clinical needs of the practice and may vary depending on what we are working on.

If you are an experienced audiologist who values excellent rehabilitation, professional independence, good conversations with patients and being genuinely involved in the clinic where you work, we would like to hear from you.
