  My role here is predominately hearing assessment and rehabilitation where appropriate. I began as an intern completing my accreditation with Audiology Australia before practicing as a full CCP member. I was initially based out of the Hervey Bay clinic; however, worked as the sole clinician across two full time clinics (Hervey Bay and Maryborough) for some time. Later on, this extended to provision of service at the Burrum Heads visiting site which my CSO and I worked to set up and alert clients to. In 2017 I moved to work out of the Corio clinic in Geelong, while also regularly working out of the Ballarat clinic and providing support for Werribee. At this time, we traded under the Name AudioClinic and I began to provide regular supporting work to Hearing Life, a sister-company to AudioClinic. Across both companies, I serviced Private, Office of Hearing Services (OHS), and Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) clients and became familiar with the various claiming items and process across all three client types. Although my rehabilitative experience involved mostly Oticon hearing aids, I was also involved in the refitting and programming of a client with an Oticon bone-anchored hearing system and had some broad experience with other manufacturers’ products. By providing support at Hearing Life, across both the Belmont permanent site and Corio visiting site, I became more familiar with Sonic and Bernafon devices. As of 2019, I have also provided support to the Bendigo and Kyneton sites as a clinical audiologist providing holiday and sick-leave assistance to provide service to clients of those cities and surrounding areas.
