When you become a Friend of the Institute you are supporting groundbreaking research that will offer hope and relief to those suffering from ear, hearing and balance disorders.

As a not-for-profit organisation, ESIA carries out ground-breaking clinical research with results already bringing relief and hope to adults and children in Australia and abroad.

The Friends of the Institute program is now in its second year. By supporting this program, you are helping us to provide our researchers with the best equipment available to continue their vital research.

2009 is an exciting year for the Institute. The last quarter of 2009 will see the Institute move into its state-of-the-art research and clinical facility located at 1 Salvado Road, Subiaco, with the grand opening scheduled for early in 2010.
