Phase 1 involved two key activities:

• developing the draft guidelines
• seeking input and feedback on the draft.

The results:

• individual hearing health care practitioners shared their diverse and practical experiences of teleaudiology to shape the initial draft
• more than 100 hearing health care practitioners, consumers and providers (77% participation rate) at 10 focus groups provided invaluable feedback
• written submissions from more than 30 organisations and individuals in Australia and overseas (50% response rate)
• more than 1150 downloads of the guidelines on the project website

In this phase of the project, we:

• tested the revised draft guidelines with hearing health care practitioners
• informed stakeholders of the purpose of testing and how to provide feedback
• incorporated feedback from the testing process in the next version of the guidelines

This phase will focus on:

• promoting
• implementing and
• embedding the guidelines.
