- Recognize and manage complications that may arise during ear irrigation, ensuring proper documentation and follow-up procedures.

Benchmarque Group, a leading Ear Health training provider, successfully conducted an accredited Ear Irrigation face-to-face workshop in response to the high demand for this course in the Western and Northern Regions. Held on the 24th of July in Dubbo, the workshop was attended by clinical staff from five ACCHS, including Gilgandra Aboriginal Medical Service, Orange Aboriginal Medical Service, Tamworth Aboriginal Medical Service, Durri Aboriginal Corporation Medical Service, and Waminda.
Upon completion of the course, participants have gained the skills and knowledge required to safely perform ear assessments, assessed on the day by a clinical trainer, and are now accredited in ear wax removal (irrigation). This accreditation equips them to be workplace-ready. The overwhelming interest expressed by ACCHS staff has led to further plans to upskill and pursue the recommended training in the Course in Ear Wax Removal (Microsuction).
