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 2025 Conference is ’Futures and Possibilities – Challenges and Opportunities’.
