Mountain Creek sits in that in-between spot on the map — close enough to Buderim to share its leafy, established feel, close enough to Kawana to share its beaches and shopping. For a hearing test, we route Mountain Creek patients via the Kawana corridor rather than through Buderim, which keeps the trip simple: a direct run down Nicklin Way and Mooloolaba Road into Caloundra town centre. If you've noticed the volume creeping up on the television, or you're asking people to repeat themselves more often at Mountain Creek Bowls Club, a hearing test is a straightforward way to find out what's actually going on.
Mountain Creek borders both Buderim and Kawana, so it's fair to wonder which of our pages applies to you. We also have a dedicated Buderim hearing test page, but this page is built specifically for Mountain Creek residents travelling via the Kawana/Nicklin Way route rather than the Buderim route — the destination clinic is identical either way, on Bulcock Street in Caloundra, so the choice of page really just reflects which direction feels more familiar to you.
A hearing test runs around 45–60 minutes: a conversation about what you've noticed, painless diagnostic checks in a controlled setting, then plain-language results the same day. No referral or obligation 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 Mountain Creek residents, along with the CASA-accredited aviation hearing assessments Linda Whittaker is known for across the region.
Mountain Creek patients travelling via the Kawana corridor get a single appointment that covers the full assessment and a plain-language run-through of your results.

Allow around 20 minutes for the drive from Mountain Creek, heading via Nicklin Way and Mooloolaba Road down to Bulcock Street, Caloundra. Once you arrive, town centre parking is a short walk from the clinic entrance at Shop 4, 27 Bulcock Street. It's a straightforward, mostly arterial-road drive with no confusing turns, and there's no need to build in extra time beyond normal traffic conditions.
Mountain Creek has good access to Kawana Shoppingworld and a strong local club culture, including Mountain Creek Bowls Club. Bowls, like most social clubs, is exactly the kind of group setting where hearing changes are often first noticed — not because anything dramatic has happened, but because it's genuinely harder to follow multiple conversations at once against background chatter. If that's starting to sound familiar, whether at the bowls club, a family lunch, or simply the television at home, a baseline hearing test gives you clear information to act on, or simply to file away for future reference.
We're a contracted provider under the Australian Government Hearing Services Program (HSP), which means eligible Mountain Creek 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, which catches a few locals out, so if you're unsure, bring your card along and we'll check your eligibility electronically on the day. Full details are on our 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.
