Overview

The Wurli Wurlinjang Health Service clinic provides specialist services in relation to ear health. Ear clinics are conducted one day per week, staffed by the ear health Aboriginal Health Worker, and attended by one of our general practitioners.

The ear health program includes:

• opportunistic observation of the ears as part of the standard consultation
• clients recorded in the Patient Information Recall System for follow up treatment and management by the specialist ear clinic
• video otoscopy
• screening-level audiometry in testing for hearing loss.

The program is funded by the Northern Territory Government through the Department of Health and Community Services.
