Dimity Dornan

Adjunct Professor Dimity Dornan is affiliated with the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Queensland. Her research focuses on hearing loss interventions, particularly auditory-verbal therapy for children, telehealth applications in audiology, and outcomes of newborn hearing screening. She has contributed to understanding social inclusion for children with hearing impairments and longitudinal studies on speech and language development. Her work spans both clinical audiology and historical genealogical studies related to Queensland's colonial families.

Key research areas include pediatric audiology, speech perception, and telemedicine in healthcare delivery. Her studies often emphasize evidence-based practices for children with hearing aids or cochlear implants. Notable publications address comparative analyses of auditory-verbal therapy outcomes against typical-hearing peers, as well as historical biographies of influential colonial families like the Petries.
