Sitting at the foot of the Blackall Range, Landsborough has a heritage railway-town character all its own — the Landsborough Museum, the old station buildings, and a steady stream of traffic heading up the range toward Maleny and Montville. It's neither fully coastal nor fully hinterland, and that's exactly how we'd describe the drive to our clinic too: about 25 minutes to Bulcock Street in Caloundra, a comfortable trip rather than a quick local hop. If you've found yourself missing bits of conversation at the Landsborough Sports Complex or turning the TV up a notch at home, a hearing test is a straightforward next step.
The appointment runs 45–60 minutes: a chat about what you've been noticing, painless diagnostic checks in a controlled setting, and plain-language results before you head home. No referral or obligation is needed to book. Full details are on our Comprehensive Adult Hearing Assessment page.
Our Caloundra clinic provides diagnostic hearing assessments, tinnitus discussions, hearing aid fittings and ongoing device support for Landsborough residents, along with the CASA-accredited aviation hearing assessments Linda Whittaker is known for across the region.
Landsborough patients, whether driving in or using the local railway station, get one visit that covers the full assessment and a plain-language results discussion.

During your Caloundra appointment, we talk through which features are actually relevant to how you live.
Allow roughly 25 minutes via Steve Irwin Way and Caloundra Road — a comfortable, mostly arterial drive down off the range. Landsborough also has its own railway station, which is worth knowing if you'd rather not drive the whole way or you're without a car; it's a genuinely useful option that most hinterland suburbs on our books don't have. Once you're in Caloundra, the clinic is on Bulcock Street with town centre parking close by.
Landsborough is the natural thoroughfare for hinterland residents heading down from Maleny and Montville, and a lot of our range-top patients pass straight through it on their way to Caloundra. For Landsborough locals themselves, that gateway position means a broad mix of neighbours — some commuting to the coast regularly, others living a quieter, more rural-adjacent daily life. Wherever you sit on that spectrum, a baseline hearing test is simply useful information — not a diagnosis, just a clear picture of where things stand, particularly if you're noticing more effort required in group settings like the Sports Complex or local community events.
Many Landsborough locals combine their hearing test with errands in Caloundra. The travel is straightforward, free parking is close to the clinic, and access is level from the walkway. Allow about an hour for your appointment. Bring your Medicare card, any GP referral, and your glasses if you wear them.
If hearing loss shows up in your results, our Qualified Audiometrist explains what it means in plain English. You can also ask about hearing aids, ongoing care, and Hearing Services Program support for eligible pensioners and DVA card holders. Book by phone or online whenever you are ready.
We're a contracted provider under the Australian Government Hearing Services Program (HSP), so eligible Landsborough residents — Pensioner Concession Card holders and DVA Gold or White Card holders — can access subsidised hearing assessments and related services with us. A Commonwealth Seniors Health Card doesn't qualify on its own, a point of confusion for some, so bring your card along and we'll check eligibility electronically on the day. See our Hearing Services Program guide for the full picture.
Every hearing test is conducted by Linda Whittaker, a Qualified Audiometrist with over 20 years of experience and ACAud accreditation. Linda takes an unhurried, independent approach, walking you through your results and options clearly, regardless of whether you've come from down the range or across town.
It sits at the base of the Blackall Range, roughly midway between hinterland and coast, and is a comfortable drive to Bulcock Street from either direction.
Yes, Landsborough is a common thoroughfare for hinterland patients heading to our clinic, so many Landsborough residents share the same route as their range-top neighbours.
Landsborough has its own railway station, so travel options beyond driving are worth considering for patients without a car or who'd rather not drive the whole way.
