Anthony followed his father and grandfather into Audiology, originally taking on the family business at Dunedin Hearing Clinic. After working with Simon Melville at Bay Audiology, the two combined their skills and experience within the only independent Audiology practice in the South. Since 1999, Anthony has been a full member of the New Zealand Audiological Society (NZAS) and previously served on several committees within NZAS.

As a senior audiologist, Anthony brings a broad knowledge base across all aspects of hearing and hearing aid technology with a particular interest in tinnitus management. Anthony still lives in Dunedin, and when he’s not in the clinic, or with the family, he’ll be out training for a multi-sport event.

Anne recently joined Audiology South as a Senior Audiologist in the Dunedin clinic. Having grown up in Central Otago, she completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Massey University before starting as a Trainee Audiologist at Dunedin Hospital in 1980. By 1983, Anne had gained a Master’s Degree in Audiology and Speech Science from Purdue University (USA).

She has since worked in many locations overseas and around NZ, in both public hospitals and private clinics. Anne is now well settled on a small lifestyle block in North Taieri!

Rachel joined Audiology South as a new graduate audiologist in 2020. She trained and worked as a primary school teacher in Christchurch before studying for her Master of Audiology degree. She enjoys working with both children and adults in our Dunedin, Oamaru and Balclutha clinics. Rachel is passionate about providing outstanding customer service and support for her clients.

Originally from the UK, Rachel moved to New Zealand at the age of 19 with her family. In her spare time she stays busy with a variety of creative hobbies including dance, piano and art.

Originally from Canada, Darren completed an undergraduate degree in Genetics and Biochemistry before moving to Auckland in 2014. Upon graduating from the Master of Audiology programme in 2016, he ventured to the South Island and has called Dunedin home ever since. During that time, he has worked as a clinician and clinical manager throughout the Otago region before joining the Audiology South team in 2022. He is passionate about getting to know his clients' unique listening needs and helping reconnect them to the world with cutting edge technology.

In his spare time Darren can be found playing ice hockey, exploring New Zealand's beautiful outdoors, or lining up the next DIY home project.
