Workplace Hearing Screenings
for Canberra Businesses
Under Work Health and Safety Regulations 2011, employees regularly exposed to hazardous noise must have their hearing screened every two years. Canberra Audiology makes compliance simple — at our clinic or on-site at your workplace.
Is Your Business Compliant?
The Work Health and Safety Regulations 2011 place a clear obligation on employers: any employee who is frequently required to wear hearing protection due to their noisy work environment must have their hearing screened at least every two years.
This requirement exists because noise-induced hearing loss develops gradually and is often not noticed until significant damage has already occurred. Regular screenings allow early detection of any hearing changes, giving both employees and employers the opportunity to take action before permanent damage is done.
Canberra Audiology offers convenient, professional workplace hearing screenings — either at our Deakin clinic or on-site at your business. We provide full written reports for each employee, giving you the documentation you need to demonstrate compliance with your WHS obligations.

Which Industries Need Hearing Screenings?
Any workplace where employees are regularly exposed to noise above 85dB falls under the WHS Regulations. Common industries include:
Construction
Power tools, heavy machinery, and demolition regularly exceed safe noise levels.
Manufacturing
Factory floors and production lines expose workers to sustained high-level noise throughout shifts.
Mining
Underground and surface mining operations involve some of the loudest occupational environments.
Aviation
Ground crew and maintenance staff are exposed to significant engine and aircraft noise during operations.
Military & Defence
Exposure to firearms, vehicles, and aircraft in training and operational environments.
Trades & Workshops
Mechanics, welders, carpenters, and other tradespeople often work with loud power tools daily.
Entertainment & Events
Live music venues, festivals, and event production crews are regularly exposed to high sound levels.
Hospitality
Kitchen and bar environments can be surprisingly loud — particularly in busy venues with hard surfaces.
