Invitation to Attend
Since 2001, the Australasian Newborn Hearing Screening (ANHS) Conference has showcased best practice in newborn hearing screening and related services, playing an important role in the development and improvement of these programs across Australia and New Zealand.
The inaugural Conference gave rise to the National Consensus Statement on Newborn Hearing Screening, a highly significant part of the lobbying effort that led to the introduction of Universal Newborn Hearing Screening (UNHS) programs in Australia. Since then, the Conference has continued to play a role in ensuring that standards of coverage and quality in the delivery of screening and associated services across Australasia are maintained and continuously improved.
The 13th Conference, now known as the Australasian Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (AEHDI) Conference, continues that legacy under the theme, One journey. Many partners. Stronger together.
We invite you to join us in New Zealand, 10 – 11 March 2027, for what will be another memorable gathering of researchers, clinicians, and families united in advancing newborn hearing screening and early intervention.
