The Stockland Baringa Retail Precinct has quickly become the everyday hub for this corner of the Caloundra South growth corridor — IGA, specialty shops and allied health all within a short walk of most streets in the estate. What it doesn't have, at least for now, is a dedicated hearing clinic, which is where the established Bulcock Street practice comes in. If you've been putting off getting your hearing checked simply because it felt like an errand for 'somewhere else', it's a shorter trip than you'd think.
A hearing test runs about 45–60 minutes and covers a conversation about what you've noticed, painless diagnostic checks in a controlled setting, and same-day results explained in plain language — no referral needed. Full process details: Comprehensive Adult Hearing Assessment.
Our Caloundra clinic provides diagnostic hearing assessments, tinnitus discussions, hearing aid fittings and ongoing device support for Baringa residents.
Baringa sits a short, direct drive from our Bulcock Street clinic via the Bells Creek Arterial Road, making a hearing test easy to fit around errands at the Stockland retail precinct.

It's around a 10-minute drive from Baringa via Bells Creek Arterial Road through to Bulcock Street, with town-centre parking available at the destination. Most Baringa residents find it a straightforward, single-road trip — no need to navigate through multiple estates or backtrack, just a direct run into Caloundra.
Baringa sits firmly within the Aura/Caloundra South growth corridor, and its retail and medical precinct has become something of an anchor for the surrounding estates — residents from nearby streets often do their groceries, see their GP, or grab a coffee there in the same trip. Hearing health doesn't always get the same routine attention as those other appointments, though, partly because changes tend to happen gradually rather than all at once. A hearing test at the Bulcock Street clinic is a simple way to build that same routine check-in into your local errands, even though it's not yet available within the precinct itself.
As a contracted Hearing Services Program (HSP) provider, we can offer subsidised hearing assessments to eligible Baringa residents — Pensioner Concession Card holders and DVA Gold or White Card holders. A Commonwealth Seniors Health Card doesn't qualify on its own, so if you're unsure, bring your card along and we'll verify eligibility electronically on the day. Full details: Hearing Services Program guide.
Your hearing test is carried out by Linda Whittaker, a Qualified Audiometrist with over 20 years of experience and ACAud accreditation. Linda takes an unhurried, independent approach — explaining what your results mean and what your options are, without pressure.
