Gayle Dicieri, a university-qualified audiometrist, commenced working in the hearing care industry in 1970. She is actively involved in the industry and is passionate about the continuing education of current hearing practitioners. After becoming a founding member of HAASA in Victoria in the 1970s, she moved to Queensland in 1988 and continued to serve the hearing-impaired community.
Gayle became accredited in 1992 to provide services to eligible pensioners and DVA veterans on behalf of the Office of Hearing Services program. She is a Fellow of ACAud (Australian College of Audiology) and has been on their executive since 1997. Gayle was the first female President of ACAud and has held the position of President-Elect, President and Immediate Past President twice. She is the only person in the organisation to have had that honour.
She has also been a representative on the Hearing Services Consultative Committee, a committee that consults with the Minister for Ageing. In addition to working full time, she was among the first group of students to complete the new Bachelor of Audiometry at the University of New England in October 2012.
