There are many opportunities for those vested in improving access to hearing health in the Australia and New Zealand. Further, participation in the ANZ Hearing Health Collaborative offers people additional benefits of interprofessional collaboration including:
- Opportunity to transform hearing health care
- Gain new ways of thinking about hearing health care issues and solutions
- Network with professionals from different practices, backgrounds, and organisations
- Gain new knowledge, and wisdom from others to improve hearing health care
- Potential to develop new skill sets
- Access to funding, sharing of costs (research)
- Pooling of knowledge for solving large, complex problems in hearing health that we have not previously been able to tackle alone or in smaller, uncoordinated efforts
