Biography

Dr Goulios is the Clinical Coordinator for the Master of Clinical Audiology program. Her areas of expertise include audiological assessment, adult and paediatric aural rehabiliation, hearing devices and management of audiological programs in special communities and in the workplace. She has a strong interest in promoting audiology education in developing countries.
She graduated with an honours degree in Physiology from the University of Western Australia (1982) and a Postgraduate Diploma in Audiology from Melbourne University (1983). She worked as a clinical audiologist specialising in paediatrics in Perth before moving to Sydney to work with the National Acoustic Laboratories in 1991. She led the "Noise Management in the Workplace" initiative which promoted the prevention of occupational noise induced hearing loss nationally, and subsequently changed roles within NAL to work on the development of a publically funded hearing health care program provided through private sector contractors. Dr Goulios returned to Perth to manage Australian Hearing's Perth Centre and then moved on to be its State Manager. In 2003 she moved to London where she first worked as a consultant audiologist for Siemens Hearing Instruments and then as a Project Manager with the Royal National Institute for the Deaf. She led an organisational syndicate comprising, the Royal National Institute for the Deaf, the Royal National Institute for the Blind and the British Red Cross, responsible for improving the provision of specialist equipment for people with disabilities. She returned to Australia to complete her PhD at UWA. Her participation with the Master of Clinical Audiology Program at UWA began with its inception in 2000 and she has increased her involvement in the teaching and clinical coordination of the course.
