3 - 4 March 2023 | Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart
2023 Australasian Newborn Hearing Screening Conference'20 Years of Newborn Hearing Screening: Looking Back and Building the Future'

Thank you for attending the 2023 ANHS Conference!

Since 2001 the Australasian Newborn Hearing Screening Conference has served to showcase best practice in newborn hearing screening and related services. The Conference has played an important role in the development and improvement of such programs across Australia and New Zealand.

The inaugural Conference gave rise to the National Consensus Statement on Newborn Hearing Screening which was a most significant part of the lobbying effort to introduce programs of UNHS in Australia. The conference continues to play a role in ensuring that standards of coverage and standards of quality in the delivery of screening and associated services around Australasia are maintained and continuously improved.

The theme for the 2023 Conference is ’20 years of newborn hearing screening: Looking back and building the future’.

When it comes to staying in Hobart, the only place to stay is on the waterfront at Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart, which features some of the best views in the city. Overlooking the Hobart Harbour and Constitution Dock, this Tasmanian hotel is just steps from popular attractions like Salamanca, Battery Point and the Central Business District, but intimate enough to ensure a perfectly relaxing experience.
