Peregian Beach, with its quieter stretch of coastline and the Peregian Springs Country Club retirement community set back near the golf club and shopping centre, sits a genuine distance from our Bulcock Street clinic — around 40 minutes via the David Low Way and Sunshine Motorway. We'd rather say that plainly than let you arrive expecting a short trip. There are almost certainly hearing providers closer to home, and it's worth having a look at what's available locally before deciding.
For patients who do make the trip, the reason is usually continuity of care — the same independent audiometrist, appointment after appointment, without changing providers. If that's what you're after, we're glad to have you, distance and all.
A hearing test takes about 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.
Peregian Beach patients making the David Low Way trip receive their full assessment and a plain-language rundown of results in a single Bulcock Street visit.

From Peregian Beach, the drive to Bulcock Street runs south via David Low Way onto the Sunshine Motorway before reaching the Caloundra town centre — close to 40 minutes each way, so it's worth allowing a full morning or afternoon for the round trip plus your appointment. Some patients build the visit around other errands further south; others prefer to treat it as a dedicated outing. Parking is straightforward once you arrive, with the Bulcock Street car park a short walk from the clinic door.
With Peregian Springs Country Club retirement village nearby the golf club and shopping centre, group living and communal activities are a big part of daily life for many Peregian Beach residents. Golf days, clubhouse lunches and social gatherings are often where hearing changes first get noticed — not by the person themselves, but by someone across the table struggling to be heard. A baseline hearing test is a simple way to find out where you stand, whether that confirms everything's fine or points to something worth monitoring.
The trip from Peregian Beach to Bulcock Street is a practical one. Free parking sits close by, and the walkway entry is level. Your appointment takes about an hour. Bring your Medicare card and any referral from your GP.
Where hearing loss is found, your results are explained clearly by our Qualified Audiometrist — no jargon, no pressure. We cover hearing aid options if relevant, and Hearing Services Program eligibility for pensioners and DVA card holders. Booking is easy by phone or online.
We're a contracted provider under the Australian Government Hearing Services Program (HSP), which means eligible Peregian Beach residents — Pensioner Concession Card holders and DVA Gold or White Card holders — can access subsidised hearing assessments and related services with us regardless of the distance travelled. A Commonwealth Seniors Health Card doesn't qualify on its own, so it's worth checking before your visit — bring your card and we'll confirm 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.
It's a longer drive; some patients choose to combine it with a Caloundra day trip.
Some patients do travel from retirement communities across the wider Noosa/Peregian area.
Worth checking locally; we offer our independent Bulcock Street clinic as an alternative.
